Preparation

Step 1

Squash: Using sharp knife, split squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Microwave skin-side down at high power for 12-16 minutes (depending on your microwave), rotating the pieces halfway through.

Test with point of small knife to see if it is tender; it not nuke it for another few minutes.

Sauce: In non-stick pan, saute garlic and onions until they release their fragrance.
Add remainder of the veggies and saute for about 5 minutes at medium heat until they start to release their juices. The onions should not get brown. Now, add the tomatoes and stir. Simmer at low to medium heat until the excess liquid is evaporated.

While the sauce is reducing, you can play with the seasonings until you get something you like.

Assembly:
Using oven mitts, remove squash from microwave and place on large platter. Keep the mitts on while you take a large fork and flake the squash into paste-like strands. Use a lengthwise motion. Divide spaghetti squash into two large bowls, top with sauce, and ENJOY!
