My mom has been making and taking her famous guacamole to football parties and gatherings for years and it’s always the first thing to be devoured. The secret? Dried oregano!

It is so fun to twirl your fork through the long ribbons of a spaghetti squash. This spaghetti squash recipe comes together quickly and requires only 5 ingredients! Easy Spaghetti Squash with Garlic-Infused Olive Oil will become your favorite recipe for Italian Night at your home 😊
Serves: 2
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
What (your ingredients):
1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic
Pinch red pepper flakes
Pinch dried oregano
Salt to taste
How (your directions):
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, then scoop out seeds and stringy center. Tip: Don’t toss the seeds! Watch this video to see how I easily separate the seeds from the flesh and roast them to perfection.
Place spaghetti squash cut side up on a baking sheet, then roast in oven for 40 minutes.
When squash is tender and a fork can easily pierce through the center, remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes.
During that time, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Thinly slice garlic clove and add to hot oil. Allow to cook 1-2 minutes until garlic slices are slightly softened.
After the squash has cooled, use a fork to separate strands into spaghetti-like ribbons.
Spoon over the garlic and olive oil, then top with red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt.
Enjoy!
Why (the science): Spaghetti squash, unlike pasta spaghetti, contain lutein and zeaxanthin which can help protect your eyesight as you age!
Fairytale eggplant is officially the most adorable vegetable because of its tiny size and purple-white stripes! But there’s another reason to love this little eggplant: it does not have the bitterness that a typical Italian eggplant that you find at the grocery store has (you know the ones…those giant dark purple eggplant giants). Fairytale eggplant has very few seeds, the culprit for eggplant bitterness. Between the smell of homemade roasted peppers, the sweetness of a balsamic reduction, and the punch of peppery oregano, you will be transported straight to an Italian kitchen. Buon appetito!
