Preparation

Step 1

Halve the squash lengthwise; discard seeds. Cook, cut-side down, in a steamer basket in 2 inches of water until tender, about 30 minutes. (Depending on size, you may do this in two batches.) Let cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Place the oil in a pot over low heat. Add the onion and peppers; cook, stirring, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano; cook 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, paste, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Using a fork, pull out the flesh of the squash (it will form spaghetti-like strands) and place in a large bowl; top with the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
