Spaghetti Squash Puttanesca

 1 large spaghetti squash
 5 tbsp plus 2 tsp extra Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 2 pints grape tomatoes
 6 anchovy filets, minced finely
 ½ tsp crushed red pepper
 4 garlic cloves, grated
 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
  cup Colavita Capers
 ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
 Optional: grated parmesan cheese
1

Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, leaving the flesh intact.

3

Drizzle cut side with 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted with no resistance.

4

Meanwhile, toss tomatoes with 2 tbsp evoo, salt, and pepper. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, place the tomatoes in the oven along with the squash for 15 minutes, or until blistered.

5

Remove squash and tomatoes from the oven and cool. With a fork, gently scrape the fragile squash strands into a mixing bowl.

6

Heat 2 tsp of evoo in a large saute pan. Add the anchovies and cook for 3 - 5 minutes, until anchovies melt into the hot oil. Add garlic, olives, capers, and spaghetti squash. Gently toss together.

7

Fold in roasted tomatoes, parsley, and 1 tbsp of EVOO. Sprinkle Parmesan on top if using. Serve immediately.
