Ingredients:

• 1 Medium or Large Spaghetti Squash
• 8 Medium to Large Tomatoes or 4 Cups Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 Cup Fresh Basil

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • In a large pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced zucchini and shallots and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Make the Tomato Sauce:
   • In a medium pot, combine sliced tomatoes, diced garlic, parsley, basil, and oregano. Cook down for 5-8 minutes until it starts to resemble a sauce. Optionally, blend the sauce with a blender or immersion blender until smooth.
5. Combine Ingredients:
   • Add the cooked zucchini mixture to the tomato sauce and stir to combine.
6. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash:
   • Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Add the squash to the tomato sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes over medium heat.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Garnish with fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
