This Spaghetti Squash Primavera is a perfect year-round weeknight {Meatless Monday} meal—especially useful before a food-filled holiday.
Why choose spaghetti squash? A generous bowl of spaghetti squash won’t weigh you down like heavy pasta but can be just as satisfying. Spaghetti squash is nutrient-dense and the entire squash is under 200 calories. I also love spaghetti squash because it is:
- Low in fat
- High in fiber
- Packed with vitamins A, B6, and C, plus iron and antioxidants you don’t get from plain pasta
When I grew tired of eating my big batch of veggie soup on its own, I poured it over a plate of spaghetti squash—and my spaghetti squash primavera was born, even though “primavera” means spring!
If you don’t have extra veggie soup on hand (and it’s handy to keep some stored in winter), simply sauté onions until translucent, add vegetables you like—mushrooms, peppers, carrots, or tomatoes—stir in a no-sugar-added tomato sauce and leafy greens. Finish with a can of beans for protein. I also added spicy roasted squash seeds for extra crunch.
Voila! Dinner in no time.
