"This is a great way to use this healthy squash. Chef's note 9/13: I just changed it up and it worked perfectly. I used the squash as directed and added more carrots (I didn't have bell peppers). I used the broth and soy sauce as well as a heaping tablespoon of spicy black bean sauce. It was so tasty, I put it under a chicken and broccoli stir fry and I didn't need any rice."

Serves:: 8

ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
2 carrots, julienned
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and julienned
2 red bell peppers, seeded and julienned
1 cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon basil, dried
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₄ cup parmesan cheese, grated

directions

Pierce the squash with the tip of a sharp knife in several places; place on a paper plate and microwave on high 20 minutes, until just softened, turning once during cooking. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Using a fork, scoop out the pulp. Measure out 6 cups of squash (reserving any remaining squash for another use).
Spray a large nonstick skillet or wok with nonstick spray; heat. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring as needed, until tender-crisp, 7 - 8 minutes.
Stir in the spaghetti squash, broth, soy sauce, basil and black pepper; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cheese.

This is a great way to use a spaghetti squash. It's healthy with so much taste. I used low sodium chicken broth. And didn't use the parmesan cheese as it's already yummy without. Thanks Jan :) Made for Holiday tag game

Yum! Used a bag of frozen stir fry mix and added chili garlic sauce for kick to a side of baked tilapia!

What a delicious way to get a lot of veggies in! I absolutely love the method for cooking the spaghetti squash. That couldn't have been easier. Made for Everyday is a Holiday in the Cooking Tag Games forum.

This recipe is tasty! I added patty pan squash because I had it fresh from the garden. I also added 1 Tablespoon of Korean Sweet Chili Sauce which gives it a slightly hot zing. I substituted chicken broth for vegetable broth as well. I used a combination of Canola oil and Toasted Sesame Oil to stir the vegetables with. A great healthy side dish!

This was excellent. Even my son and DIL liked it and they are very picky. I had some cherry tomatoes that I added. We will be making this again. Thanks for a great new side dish.
