This spaghetti squash primavera is my version of a recipe that came with my weekly produce basket, which contained several of the ingredients used in the recipe. I made a few changes to suit my tastes, and the results were delicious! It makes a great vegetarian main course or a nice accompaniment to a meat entrée.

- 1 spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion , chopped
- 1 large clove garlic , minced
- 1 large zucchini , cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 green bell pepper , chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
- fresh ground black pepper , to taste
- 1.5 cups chopped tomato
- 0.75 cups crumbled feta cheese

1
Pierce the shell of spaghetti squash with a fork and place in a microwave-safe dish; cook in the microwave on high for 12 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

Slice squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Use a fork to pull the flesh away from the shell and place into a large bowl; fluff with the fork to separate strands as much as possible.

Instant Pot Sushi Rice
This sushi rice recipe is made in an Instant Pot. This simple method always ensures perfectly cooked grains. I tested four different methods before deciding this was the best. Using the Manual function instead of the Rice setting gives the rice a tender bite and separated grains, yet it's still sticky enough to make compact sushi rolls. This recipe yields enough rice for 3 standard sushi rolls.
