Spaghetti Squash with homemade marinara sauce...again!

The spaghetti squash with veggie marinara sauce is so satisfying, here is the recipe!

Vegetable Marinara Sauce

1 onion
1 bell pepper
6-8 cloves garlic
2 celery stalks
3 carrots
2 Tbs Italian Herbs
15-20 roma tomatos, cut in quarters
1 Cup organic vegetable stock

Put all ingredients except the tomato in a food processor and pulse until everything is chopped finely. Heat a little olive oil in a large pot and sauté until tender, about 5-8 minutes. While the other veggies are  cooking, blend tomatoes in the food processor until liquid and pour into the pot then mix in italian herbs. Bring everything to a boil on high heat then turn down to med/low so it continues to gently boil. I cooked it covered for about 2 hours and then uncovered for another hour. You could probably cook it even longer on low if you wanted, I think the longer the better you just have to watch and make sure it doesn't dry out. I cooked another batch in the crock pot today on high for 7 hours and it turned out good too. If you have a hand blender you could also blend the sauce even more once it has cooked so that the texture is more smooth, but we didn't mind it a little coarse. Serve over spaghetti squash with a big side of something green!
