Preheat oven to 400° Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice spaghetti squash in half, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Place squash halves cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the squash has softened.

Meanwhile, place celery, onion, carrots, and garlic into a food processor or blender and pulse until just slightly chunky. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add vegetable mixture and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes.

Add lentils, tomatoes, and broth and continue to cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add tomato sauce and seasonings. Continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until lentils are soft.

When the squash is roasted, let it cool slightly, then carefully scrape the insides with a fork to form “spaghetti-like” strands.

Divide spaghetti squash among four bowls and top with the lentil Bolognese.
