SPAGHETTI SQUASH PRIMAVERA



Spaghetti Squash Primavera image

I'm not completely sure what to call this creation, besides yummy. I stopped back at my new favorite farm stand and picked up a small spaghetti squash and a couple beautiful fresh picked bell peppers. I decided to saute the peppers with some onion, zucchini and a bit of garlic and use that as a topping for the spaghetti...

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small spaghetti squash
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 small zucchini, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tomato, diced
salt and pepper to taste
parmesan to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Place cut side down on a plate and microwave 5 minutes, or until squash is tender. Poke it to test - the shell will still be hard, but it'll make a dent when poked. Flip them cut side up and set aside.
  • 2. While squash cooks, heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions, bell pepper and zucchini. When they start to get tender add garlic. Cook until they're as done as you want them, that's completely up to you. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash out of the shell, dragging it lengthwise to separate strands. Top the squash with the veggie mixture. Add some diced tomatoes, then a sprinkle of parmesan on top.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm and ripe spaghetti squash: Look for one that is heavy for its size and has a deep yellow color.
  • Pierce the squash with a fork before baking: This will help prevent it from exploding in the oven.
  • Bake the squash until it is tender: The flesh should be easily pierced with a fork.
  • Let the squash cool slightly before handling: This will make it easier to cut and shred.
  • Use a fork to shred the squash: This will create long, thin strands that resemble spaghetti.
  • Cook the primavera ingredients until they are tender: You can use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Add the shredded squash to the primavera mixture and stir until combined: You can also add a sauce, such as a marinara or pesto sauce, if desired.
  • Season the primavera to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices.
  • Serve the primavera over rice, pasta, or quinoa: You can also enjoy it as a side dish or a main course.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash primavera is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give spaghetti squash primavera a try!
