This made a really delicious, light meal! It was great reheated the next day too.

I love spaghetti squash and thought this was good. My husband who is not a fan of spaghetti squash loved this recipe! So I gave it five stars. According to my husband, the "normally flavorless squash tasted really good". If you like the flavor of spaghetti squash without the "frills" this may not be for you. It's certainly worth a try though.

This is a wonderful, light side dish. Next time I will skip the green pepper, as it seemed to overpower the tomatoes and squash. Thanks for submitting the recipe!
