Italian Spaghetti Squash

I cooked the BEST meal ever tonight! And you're never gonna believe me, but Josh and Jake thought it was awesome too! I will definitely be cooking it again... are you ready?

Spaghetti Squash

2 lb spaghetti squash, cut in half and seeded
olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 red pepper cut into strips
2 zucchini's cut into rounds
2 cans of del monte diced tomatoes with onion/garlic/basil
1 can of mushroom pieces

Parmesean cheese (fresh) to taste.

1.) Place the squash halves, cut side down in a glass baking dish. Add 1/8 c. water and cover with pastic wrap. Microwave on high for 9 minutes (spaghetti squash is big, I had to do each side seperately)

2.) Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add diced onion, and red pepper. Heat until the onion is translucent. Add the zucchini and cook about 4 minutes. Pour in your diced tomatoes with juice and your drained mushroom pieces. Let simmer about 10 minutes.

3.) Using a fork scrape the squash strands on to your individual plates. That was my favorite part, it seriously looks like spaghetti noodles! And your "sauce" and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

It was SO GOOD!!!!!!
