SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place spaghetti squash halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the squash is tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and continue cooking until golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and their juices. Increase heat to medium-high. Add vermouth (or wine) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in pepper and salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh from the shell; add it to the tomato sauce. Stir in basil.

Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, another 25 minutes. (You can flip the oven to the broiler at the last minute for extra cheese browning!)
