Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350-375.
- Halve raw spaghetti squash with a sturdy sharp knife, scoop out, and discard the squash poop with a spoon.
- Place halves onto an oven safe cooking dish face up.
- Clean head of garlic and thinly slice garlic, (the larger pieces of garlic brown nicely, and offer a wonderful layer of complexity to the dish).
- Spread garlic into the bowl like shape of the squash, salt and pepper vigorously, drizzle with a 50/50 mixture of olive oil, and vegetable oil (get the oil everywhere inside the squash).
- Place onto the upper middle rack of the oven for about 30-40 minutes. (You will know it is ready when the squash separates with little resistance from the skin).
- Remove from oven, and place in coldest location possible for at least 20 minutes, before separating from skin.
- Use a fork to scoop and separate squash strands, add any other ingredients you like at this point.
- Parmesan, Romano, or Pecorino, Feta, are all excellent additions to this dish, as well as, meat, sausage, veggies, olives, the list is endless.
- WARNING **** If you use a loose tomato based sauce DO NOT add it immediately to the squash; this makes the squash runny, mushy, and unpalatable. Instead garnish the dish with a little bit of sauce atop the squash, and then offer more sauce on the side, in a separate dish.
- If you ever had it served this way you know what I mean.
- You can also take any leftovers and add a little bit of flour, and make into patties and fry.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
- Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
- In a pan over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, and onions, and sautè until onions are translucent.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper and simmer until they are cooked and begin to become softened.
- Remove squash from the oven, with a fork pull at the edges to produce that stringy "spaghetti" quality. Add the squash to the tomato mixture and mix in the pan.
- Add mixture back to the hollowed out spaghetti squash halves. Top with mini mozzarella balls ans basil.
- Bake an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
- Serve in the squash, and top with basil.
- Enjoy!
