Spaghetti Squash and veggies

We used to eat a lot of pasta, and switching to primal made no more pasta really tough. When I tried spaghetti squash I couldn't believe how good it was! I found the perfect recipe to get you through those cravings for Italian! Thanks Giada!! 

What you'll need: 

-1 jar of organic pasta sauce 

-1 large spaghetti squash 

-1 green, yellow, and red pepper sliced 

-1 yellow onion chopped 

-EVOO just a tad to drizzle

-10 med tomatoes 

-onion powder to taste 

-salt and pepper to taste 

What to do:

Cooking Squash: 

You have several options for making the squash all of which you can google. The simplest way is to pierce it a few times, and then place it in your microwave for 5-8minues. Once cooked you'll cut in half, scrape out the seeds, and then use a fork and scoop out the "pasta."

-Preheat oven to 425

-Sauté onions and peppers with EVOO for a few minutes

-Slice tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick

-Drizzle EVOO in a baking pan or dish

-Line your pan with tomatoes

-Salt and pepper tomatoes as well as sprinkle with onion powder

-In a large bowl mix cooked squash, peppers, onions, and pasta sauce. 

-Pour on top of tomato layer. 

-Add final layer of tomatoes on top of pasta and dash your salt, pepper, and onion powder on top

- Bake for 1 hour
