- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper or MORE!
- ½ or more teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

- Remove squash and tomatoes from oven and cool. With a fork, gently scrape the fragile squash strands into a mixing bowl.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of evoo in a large saute pan. Add crushed red pepper and lots of black pepper. Allow peppers to heat up and really toast in oil. Add garlic, blistered tomatoes and spaghetti squash. Gently toss together.
- Fold in parsley, and 1 tablespoon of evoo. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top (if using). Serve immediately.
