Pop and I have always loved spaghetti squash but in its very plainest form - cooked and served with a little butter and parmesan as a side dish. However a recent episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, featured the squash in a main dish and I adapted the recipe to include slightly different ingredients based upon my current pantry staples. After cooking the squash , the strands were removed and sauteed with onions, sweet peppers, and brocolli. The mixture was returned to the shells and baked awhile, then topped with provel cheese and baked a little longer till the cheese was melted and bubbly. A topping of warm marinara sauce completed the meal. I have never seen Pop so enthusiastic about a meatless meal, in fact, it was so tasty that we both overate!In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
