Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut sides with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 40–45 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork slides through the flesh without resistance.

While the squash roasts, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 8–10 minutes.
