Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS:
Wash the spaghetti squash and cut it in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Scoop out all the seeds and discard them.

Step 3

Place in a microwave safe dish, cut side down with a small amount of water (not too much). Cover with saran wrap and microwave until soft.

Step 4

IN THE MEANTIME:
Saute onions, peppers (cut the same size as the onions) and toward the end of cooking add the garlic and tomato.

Step 5

Toss in some oregano, marjoram & thyme or just use basis alone (fresh if possible).

Step 6

If you want this sauce a little juicier, add a little bit of chicken broth. Another optional addition is a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar balanced off with a tsp of sugar.

Step 7

When the squash is done, scrape it out of the shell with a fork. Add the sauce and sprinkle with a generous amount of parmesan cheese. (Thanks for the recipe Dorie.)
