Creamy Spaghetti Squash Vegetable Parmesan Saute

This is an extreme veggie dish, one of the best squash recipes I have made so far, there is tons of flavor in this dish.. if you don't have all the veggies that are called for in this recipe, just leave them out, but please don't leave out the zucchini, spaghetti squash, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and garlic! This complete recipe is made on top of the stove, except for baking the squash. Bake the spaghetti squash well in advance before making this dish, after that is is mostly chopping. This is well worth the effort to make it is delicious! Although the recipe does not call for this, I sprinkled some mozzeralla cheese on top just before serving instead of the Parmesan, but that of coarse is up to you.
