Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Drizzle olive oil over the flesh of the squash and season with salt and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
While the squash is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the marinara sauce, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
Top the spaghetti squash with the marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil if desired.

For extra flavor, you can sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the marinara sauce.
If you prefer a more hearty dish, you can add cooked meatballs or ground turkey to the marinara sauce.
