Steps:
- Pierce the shell of the spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a microwave-safe dish; cook in microwave on High for 12 minutes. Set aside to cook until cool enough to handle. Slice in half lengthwise; remove the seeds. Use a fork to pull the flesh of the squash away from the shell and place into a large bowl; fluff with the fork to separate the strands as much as possible.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking and stirring another 3 minutes. Stir the zucchini and green bell pepper into the mixture; season with the Italian herb seasoning and black pepper. Pour the tomatoes into the skillet. Continue cooking just until the tomatoes are warmed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the squash to the skillet and toss until evenly mixed. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and toss again to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size. The skin should be smooth and free of blemishes.
- Cook the spaghetti squash properly. The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it in the oven. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to shred the spaghetti squash. This will help to create long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
- Add the sauce to the spaghetti squash just before serving. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti squash primavera is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, spaghetti squash primavera is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
