Whip up a batch of this hearty, all-vegetable dish for dinner in just an hour. Hearty and delicious spaghetti squash stars as the pasta alternative that just might turn your family away from traditional pasta permanently. Easy to bake, the spaghetti squash shreds into long tender strands resembling traditional pasta and equally as filling. The mild sweetness of the squash never overpowers the vegetables but blend beautifully. Primavera, a traditional Italian dish, is marked by a healthy amount of vegetables in the sauce. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to your sauce in place of some we use here. Serve with a peppery-fresh arugula salad with some fresh lemon juice or toast a baguette and serve a slice with each bowl.
