Spaghetti Squash Primavera

This was the first time I ever made spaghetti squash.  It was really easy.  I have to say I don't think it tastes just like noodles but it was good.  I got this recipe from Skinnytaste and you can find it here. This is a vegetarian dish but if you wanted it to be vegan you could leave out the cheese.

Ingredients 1 spaghetti squash 1 T diced shallot 1/4 C diced red onion 2 large ribs of celery diced 1/4 C carrots  (I used shredded bc that is what I had on hand) 1 C broccoli florets 1/2 C chopped zucchini 1 jar marinara 1 T olive oil mozzarella parmesan salt & pepper Stab spaghetti squash with knife or fork multiple times. Microwave whole for 8 minutes. Put olive oil in skillet over medium high heat.   Add shallot, red onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 5 minutes.

With heat at medium add broccoli, zucchini and marinara and cook 3-4 minutes until tender crisp. Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.  Scoop out seeds. Shred squash into "noodles" with fork. Add 2 C spaghetti squash to veggie mixture. Salt & pepper to taste. Pour mixture into baking dish. Top with mozzarella and parmesan. Broil until cheese is melted.
