I found this recipe, and lots more winter squash recipes, at www.cooks.com.

  • 1 spaghetti squash, about 1 ½ pounds
  • 1 medium sized green pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium sized onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp. dried basil leaves, crushed
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves, crushed
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. each of dried marjoram, thyme and sage
  • 2 Tbsp. Italian olive oil
  • 5 to 6 medium sized tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Wash squash, prick with a fork. Cook in 400° oven until tender, about 40 minutes.
  2. Cook green peppers and onions in oil over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
  3. Cut the squash into halves, remove the spaghetti-like squash strands with two forks. Toss the squash with the butter and cheese. Spoon tomato mixture over squash.
