Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 1/2 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons butter, or more to taste
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place squash, cut-sides down, in a shallow baking dish. Fill the dish with about 1/2 inch of water.
  • Microwave on high until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the microwave and transfer squash to a cutting board to cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a fork in an up-and-down motion to scrape out spaghetti-like strands of squash.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes and cook until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in spaghetti squash and season with garlic powder, thyme, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cook until cheese has melted slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.
