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.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
-
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.
-
2
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.
-
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for another 3 minutes. Stir zucchini and green bell pepper into mixture; season with Italian herb seasoning and black pepper.

4
Pour tomatoes into the skillet. Continue cooking just until tomatoes are warmed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add squash strands to the skillet and toss until evenly mixed. Sprinkle with feta cheese and toss again to serve.

Easy Chicken Cacciatore
A back-to-basics version of a classic chicken cacciatore recipe. Chicken meat simmered with garlic, onion, green bell pepper, tomatoes, beans, and oregano. This recipe can easily be doubled. Serve over cooked noodles or rice, if desired.
Giant King Cake Pop-Tart
This festive Mardi Gras mashup is perfect for anyone seeking a lower-effort alternative to homemade king cake. The key to keeping this recipe big and easy is store-bought puff pastry--which encases a gooey cinnamon-sugar filling and is frosted with a decadent cream cheese glaze. So while it's certainly not a traditional king cake, this giant brown sugar-cinnamon tart does offer a similarly flaky, buttery, and sweetly delicious pastry experience. In place of the plastic baby typically that's hidden in a king cake after it's finished baking, you can always tuck an almond or other nut.
Big Picnic Sandwich
This big picnic sandwich is an Italian-style sammie piled high with salami, mortadella, ham, and provolone, spread with a quick-blended red pepper sauce, and dressed with crunchy lettuce.
