Baked Spaghetti Squash With Tomato Sauce And Olives
- 1 spaghetti squash (about 3 1/4 pounds)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup minced fresh onion
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Dash of crushed red pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced and divided
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Pierce squash with a fork. Place squash on a baking sheet; bake at 375u0b0 for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Cool. Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to remove spaghetti-like strands to measure 6 cups. Keep warm.
- While squash is baking, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, and red pepper; saute 5 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, wine, and the next 6 ingredients (wine through tomatoes); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until thick (about 30 minutes). Discard bay leaves. Serve sauce over squash.
- Combine 1 minced garlic clove, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Sprinkle over each serving.
