Ingredients

1 small spaghetti squash
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced shallots
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup celery
1/4 cup carrots
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup diced zucchini
2 cups homemade marinara sauce
1/2 tbsp grated pecorino romano
3 oz fresh mozzarella

Steps

Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and place the halves cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish with water.
Microwave the squash for 8 to 10 minutes, until the flesh separates into strands with a fork.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the shallots, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots for 4 minutes.
Add the broccoli and zucchini, cover the skillet, and cook for 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes, then scrape in the squash strands.
Top with pecorino and mozzarella, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
