This spaghetti squash primavera is my version of a recipe that came with my weekly produce basket, which contained several of the ingredients used in the recipe. I made a few changes to suit my tastes, and the results were delicious! It makes a great vegetarian main course or a nice accompaniment to a meat entrée.

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced

  • 1 large zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning

  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 ½ cups chopped tomato

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Pierce the shell of spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a microwave-safe dish; cook in the microwave on high for 12 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

  2. Slice squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Use a fork to pull the flesh away from the shell and place into a large bowl; fluff with the fork to separate strands as much as possible.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for another 3 minutes. Stir zucchini and green bell pepper into mixture; season with Italian herb seasoning and black pepper.

  4. Pour tomatoes into the skillet. Continue cooking just until tomatoes are warmed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add squash strands to the skillet and toss until evenly mixed. Sprinkle with feta cheese and toss again to serve.
