Ingredients

  • 2 large spaghetti squash
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 tablespoons sweet butter
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup diced zucchini (rind only)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup julienne tomato concasse (peeled and seeded)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut both squash in 1/2 lengthwise and scoop out all seeds. Rub them inside and out with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the squash cut side down on a sheet pan or cookie sheet and cover with foil. Place in the oven and cook until the rind is slightly soft or gives with a little pressure, about 20 minutes. When they are done, scrape the meat out with a fork and reserve, keeping warm.

In a hot skillet, melt the butter and continue to cook until dark brown. Add the capers, zucchini, and bell pepper to stop the butter from cooking any further, and cook, stirring, until tender. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper.

In a large mixing bowl mix the squash, butter sauce, and tomatoes and serve.

    Awesome!!!!! Me and my 2 year old ate it all up. Cooked the squash for about 45 mins, added mushrooms, shrimp, and artichokes. He couldn't tell he wasn't eating pasta ;-.

    Delicious! And so filling! I ended up having to cook the spaghetti squash for longer than it calls for- I cooked mine for about 45 minutes. I also added about 2 tablespoons of minced garlic when I added the bell peppers, zucchini, and capers...just gave it a little more kick and complexity of flavor.

    This is YUMMY! I used only 1 squash and halved all the other ingredients, and it turned out great. I served it with polenta for a very filling meal.
