Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place squash halves, cut-sides down, in a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch of water or vegetable broth to the dish. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced in the middle with a fork, approximately 30-40 minutes. (40 minutes)

04

Step

While squash is baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and carrot; sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 8-10 minutes. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. (2 minutes)

06

Step

In a separate saucepan, gently warm the marinara sauce over medium-low heat. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands of flesh into a large bowl. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Add the sautéed vegetables to the spaghetti squash in the bowl and toss gently to combine. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Pour the warm marinara sauce over the squash and vegetables, mixing until everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, roast the vegetables alongside the squash. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before spreading them on a baking sheet. Add them to the squash after both are roasted.
Feel free to add protein, such as cooked Italian sausage, ground turkey, or chickpeas, to the sauce for a heartier meal.
Fresh herbs, like basil or oregano, add a bright flavor boost. Stir them in at the end.
