Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
-
Drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the squash and season with salt and black pepper.
-
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
-
While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
-
Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
-
Use a fork to scrape the flesh of the roasted spaghetti squash into strands. Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet and toss to combine with the spinach and tomatoes.
-
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until heated through.

Remove from heat and stir in the basil leaves.

Serve warm and enjoy!
