Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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)

Steps:

  • 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.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. I might make it again if I'm in a pinch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

This recipe is a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The squash was a bit undercooked for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a few more minutes next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

This recipe is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less lemon juice and capers.

I'm not a huge fan of spaghetti squash, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The lemon and capers really brighten up the squash and make it much more palatable.

This spaghetti squash recipe is a game-changer! The lemon and capers add a bright and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the mild squash. I also love that it's a healthy and low-carb alternative to traditional pasta.
