This is one of my go to recipes for when I’m pressed for time (like when I walk in the door with my starving kids and nothing is prepared for dinner).
All I do is chop up some vegetables and throw them in a skillet with some olive oil.
Ingredients:
- Red, orange, yellow peppers
- Broccoli florets
- Chopped onions
- Mushrooms
- Olive oil (You can use coconut oil it’s such the rave now but I prefer the taste of good old fashioned olive oil)
- Spaghetti squash
- Sea salt, black pepper, turmeric
Preparation:
- Cut spaghetti squash in half and microwave for 20 minutes. (careful – squash gets really watery and messy so use a glass bowl)
- In separate skillet while squash is cooking, coat pan with olive oil and add all other chopped vegetables. Stir every few minutes for approx.. 10 minutes.
- Remove seeds from inside cooked spaghetti squash (careful to let it cool first)
- Scoop out the spaghetti like flesh of the squash and place in pasta bowl.
- Add stir fry on top of squash –optional: sprinkle sea salt and black pepper to taste
