Made with spaghetti squash noodles, this is a great (and healthy) twist on traditional spaghetti. This dish is very versatile, adding more vegetables or meat in any combination would work great!
Ingredients
- 1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, or more to taste, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place squash halves, cut-sides down, in a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch water to the dish.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced in the middle with a knife, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the squash is baking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and carrot; saute until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. The zucchini will add water to the pan; that's okay, it will cook out. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat.
Step 4
At the same time, heat spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Step 5
Remove squash from the oven and let cool slightly. When you can handle it, use a fork to remove the strands of flesh; place in a large bowl.
Step 6
Add sauteed vegetables to the spaghetti squash and toss to combine. Mix in spaghetti sauce and serve.
Cook’s Notes:
I shredded my carrots to help them cook faster.
