This was a really great way to use up all the vegies coming out of the garden. Good recipe, I found it to be a little short on flavor as it was. So I resorted to adding canned tomato sauce and a few handfuls of garlic salt. In the end it was very tasty. I'm about to make it for the second time, so yes, I am a fan!

I made this as a side dish to grilled chicken breasts. When the chicken was nearly done I took some of the sauce, mixed it with a little tomato paste to thicken it a little, poured it on top of the breasts and topped them with a slice mozzarella cheese and some parmesan, then finished them off in the oven. The spaghetti squash primavera was a lovely accompaniment to this - zesty and a nice combination of flavours.
