A few weeks ago I shared with you a serendipity kind
of recipe where I made dinner with a spaghetti squash
and added what was in the fridge ~ pork tenderloin,
zucchini and mushrooms.
It's my favorite kind of meal, ready in about 15 minutes!
And the combination possibilities are endless.
Over the weekend I made another one.
While the squash cooked in the microwave, I put together
grilled chicken strips, frozen peas, and sauteed vidalia
onions in olive oil. Add garlic, salt, pepper and stir all together.
Top with chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Yum!
Leftovers are great, too, but we don't usually have any. ha.

Still have not tried spaghetti squash - looks so tasty!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a squash taste. It's hard to describe. It's wonderful for being the base that you add flavor to. I have it in the garden. We love it.
DeleteYou must try it! Yum!
I do love regular squash too - just keep forgetting about this one. And not sure how to tackle it either! Although it's supposed to be dead easy! :-)
DeleteJust cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and microwave it about 12 minutes. Then the flesh shreds out easily with a fork! While it's cooking, I saute the veggies and then add the squash to the skillet. yum!
DeleteOh...and it helps to have your knives displayed and handy! LOL! kidding!
DeleteLaughing! Yeah.Yeah. :-)
Deletehee!
DeleteMe first! Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteAlmost! So close!
DeleteDamn! I'm second, I'm going to sulk now.
ReplyDeleteDon't sulk. I'll make you some! ha.
DeleteYou mean you are going to email me some Spaghetti Squash With Grilled Chicken And Peas? This I gotta see, even if in makes a mess in my inbox!
DeleteCan't you just lick the screen here? haha.
DeleteYum...Looks delicious and is a very colorful recipe : )
ReplyDeleteVery tasty!
DeleteLook delicious Betsy:)
ReplyDeleteIt was very yummy!
DeleteI confess that I have never tried spaghetti squash. This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people don't try it because the name puts them off. It doesn't taste like squash and it doesn't taste like pasta!
DeleteI must buy a spaghetti squash the next time I'm at the market. Both dishes you've shared look so good. Sometime I put a whole spaghetti squash in the medium sized crock pot and let it cook slow until its tender, then add what ever..but I like the quick micro version too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea...and I'm sure in the winter if you wanted to warm the house, it could go in the oven! I love this because you can make it all kinds of ways...whatever you have on hand.
DeleteWhen is dinner? Hope you made enough cause it looks like there will be a crowd!
ReplyDeleteCyber dinner is never ending! haha...and we never run out!
DeleteIt smell great!
DeleteIt always smells good when you saute onions and garlic to start a meal. yum.
DeleteWe love spaghetti squash so will totally have to try it (both of them). TFS!!! Our garden is the crappiest this year. Hoping to get a nice fall crop.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you like it! So easy and yummy!
DeleteCrumbs! I think even I could do this one - must give it a whirl - it looks so appetising :)
ReplyDeleteI think you could, too!
DeleteYes I will have a go - I'll make a lot! . . I am greedy especially for things I like and that looks real good :)
DeleteLooks excellent and I love a 15 minute meal!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I want it home cooked in a fast food time. ha.
DeleteThe chicken I can sure eat
ReplyDeletePick off the strip stuff if there for a treat
Garlic is fine too
But just suck it back raw at my zoo
Nastiest thing ever
But works in its endeavor.
You should take it whole and pretend it's a pill.
DeleteWash it down and you won't taste nill.
Well, until you burb, that is.
Strong stuff, that raw biz.
Well I chew it a bit and then pretend the parts are a pill
DeleteDoesn't taste as bad as you don't get the full fill
Great idea- this looks delicious! I've never actually cooked spaghetti squash before- how long do you cook it? Do you slit it first?
ReplyDeleteThey take about 12 minutes in the microwave. Cut it in half, pull out the seeds and put it on a plate...pop it in the microwave.
DeleteThen shred the flesh out with a fork.
Thanks! I'm going to try this. We need more squash in our lives!
DeleteDinners as quick, but as tasty as this are wonderful aren't they!! xx
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind!
DeleteYour dinners always looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLast night I tried Avocado Gazpacho" at a picnic for the very first time and it was wonderful! Think I'll be making some of that myself one of these days. Maybe after I get that fridge cleaned out. How does it fill up so fast anyhow?
Looks yummy. My girls love a good spaghetti squash.
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy - love spaghetti squash .. I took some seeds back with my in the 70s and we had one or two squash I think ... I loved them then and eat a lot of squash ... this sounds delicious .. cheers Hilary
