Ingredients

    Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
    Broccoli - 1 crown in small pieces
    Garlic, 2 cloves - minced
    1 Large Portabello Mushroom - sliced into 1/4 inch strips then into 1 inch chunks
    Onions, 1 small chopped in large pieces
    1 small Zucchini cut into chunks
    1 small to medium spagetti squash cut lengthwise with seeds removed
    1 small Yellow Summer Squash cut into chunks
    1 jar Classico Tomato Basil Sauce, 52 oz.e

Directions

Preheat Oven to 350.
Place the spagetti squash cut side down in a baking dish with a little water around the bottom. Bake for approx. 45 min then turn the halves over and bake until the skin is tender. Cool slightly and scoop out the flesh and run a fork through it to create spagetti strands.

While the squash is cooking, prep the other vegetables.

Heat oil in large skillet.
Saute the garlic and onions until just tender.
Add the mushrooms and broccoli and simmer covered over low heat until the mushrooms begin to sweat and release some of their juices. Add the squash and continue to simmer for about 3-4 min more. A splash of balsamic vinegar adds a savory flavor to the dish if you like.

Add the jar of tomato sauce and simmer until heated through. Adjust the seasoning to taste (Salt, fresh ground pepper, dry basil etc..) Remove from heat and keep warm until the squash is ready.

Either mix the vegetable/sauce with the squash or spoon over the squash.

Top with only a bit of fresh grated cheese or a tablespoon of panko bread crumbs.

Enjoy!
