Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetable Spaghetti Squash Noodles.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Take your halved spaghetti squash and place it cut-side down in a baking dish, adding about half an inch of water to create a steamy environment.
Step 3
Let the squash bake in the warm oven for around 30 minutes, or until it yields easily to a knife's touch.
Step 4
While the squash transforms in the oven, heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped bell peppers, sliced onion, diced zucchini, and carrot, sautéing them for about five minutes until they start to soften.
Step 6
Don’t worry if the zucchini releases some moisture; it will evaporate as they cook.
Step 7
Next, introduce minced garlic to the mix and let it sizzle for an additional minute, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 8
Sprinkle in dried parsley flakes, salt, and pepper, then take the skillet off the heat.
Step 9
In a separate small saucepan, warm your spaghetti sauce over medium heat until it’s just right.
Step 10
Once the squash is perfectly baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 11
Use a fork to scrape the tender flesh into spaghetti-like strands and transfer them to a large bowl.
Step 12
Combine the sautéed vegetables with the squash, tossing gently to blend.
Step 13
Finally, pour in the warm spaghetti sauce, mixing everything until each strand is beautifully coated.
Step 14
Enjoy this vibrant dish that brings a taste of comfort and health to your table!.
