I'm always looking for new ways to cook spaghetti squash, and this recipe did not disappoint. The balsamic vinegar added a nice tangy flavor to the dish, and the toasted pine nuts added a nice crunch.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and bell peppers that were about to go bad, so I threw them in with the spaghetti squash and it turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less balsamic vinegar next time.

The spaghetti squash was a bit undercooked. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.
