- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 yellow squash, chopped
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down in a baking dish with about 1 inch of water.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly, then shred the flesh with a fork.
- While the squash is baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded spaghetti squash with the ratatouille vegetable mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish.
- If desired, top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like eggplant or mushrooms.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated.
