Spaghetti Squash Primavera
Serves 6 | Staff Favorite, Gluten Free, Veggie prep 15 minutes | cook 25 minutes
This dish tastes just as comforting as the original, but without pasta’s calories and carbs. Though zucchini and squash are available year-round, any combination of fresh vegetables will work, so sub in your favorites.
3 whole spaghetti squashes, about 1 pound each 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 yellow onion, diced 2 zucchini, diced 2 yellow squash, diced 1 cup diced bell pepper (red, yellow, orange, or a combination) 1 cup broccoli florets 3 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, in juice 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or ½ teaspoon dried Asiago cheese, for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 425˚. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Place squash, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn cut side down and roast for 25 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, zucchini, squash, bell pepper, and broccoli; sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and toss to combine. Add tomatoes, crushing with a spoon. Season with red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, and salt and pepper. Sauté for another 5 minutes or so. 3. When squash is tender, use a fork to scrape into spaghetti-like strings. Divide among shallow bowls. Spoon primavera sauce over “noodles” and garnish with cheese. Serve immediately.
