Description

Topped with grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkled with red-pepper flakes, this hearty, filling, healthy dish is a home run.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Spaghetti Squash, Halved Lengthwise And Seeded
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Sweet Onion, Chopped
  • 1 cup Carrots, Chopped
  • 2 whole Zucchini, Quartered And Chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 3 cups Marinara Sauce, Jar Or Homemade
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese To Taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes (if Desired)

Preparation

Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp with a large spoon. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Add enough water to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until fork-tender.

While the squash is cooking, prepare the other vegetables. I used carrots, onion, zuchinni and garlic. This medley would be great with bell peppers, yellow peppers, broccoli or anything you have on hand.
Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and saute until almost translucent. Add the carrots and continue to cook another 5 minutes. Add the chopped zucchini and cook until slighly tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrent about 2 minutes.

Stir in the marinara sauce, such as Prego or homemade is good, too! Continue cooking for another 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Scoop out the flesh with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the vegetable mixture and toss. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.

(Inspired by a recipe in a Prevention Cookbook.)
