Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Use 1/4 cup olive oil to rub squash halves inside and out. Sprinkle inside with a little kosher sea salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, (until fork tender). Allow to cool a bit for handling. Reduce oven temperature to 350.
- Using a fork, scrape out the strings of squash from the shell into a large bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, as squash is baking prepare the rest of the ingredients. In a large skillet add olive oil and garlic and cook until fragrant about 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir in spaghetti squash, vinegar, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for about 2 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and stir in half, (1 cup Gruyère cheese), then add half of the pine nuts. Taste and add salt or pepper if desired.
- Pour into a 9 X 13 casserole dish. Top with the rest of the pine nuts. Arrange the tomatoes along the top of the casserole with cut sides up. A little more salt and pepper and Italian seasoning. Top with the rest of the gruyere.
- Roast at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbly,heated through and cheese melts. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
This can be served as a side or a main dish. You can easily add Italian sausage on the side or even right in the dish.
