Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Bowls

This was really tasty. The best way to eat spaghetti squash!

This recipe was a hit! We have tons of spaghetti squash from our garden and luckily found this great dinner option. Our kids are 10 and 8 and they loved it.

We made 2 changes. We added grilled chicken. And I knew chick peas would be a turn off, so I made the pepper medley without them. I had hummus on the side to stir in. Everyone had seconds and this recipe will be in our regular rotation. Thank you!!

First time commenting on ANY recipe! This was fantastic. I did use a purchased pesto, but for everything else I followed the recipe . My husband is slowly warming up to squash and he enjoyed this as well. Thank you, I will definitely make this again!

Absolutely delicious! Since I have a sensitivity to pulses (especially chickpeas), I substituted diced grilled chicken. I plan to make this for company, and serve both a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian version.

My husband and I enjoyed this dish! He said to add it to our rotation.
The only thing I added was cooked seasoned ground turkey.
The pesto was so flavorful.
Thanks!

One of my favorite recipes!!

I just kept saying, "This is so good!" the whole time I ate it. The flavors blended together perfectly, and on a hot summer night it was satisfying and not too heavy (except that I ate too much as it was sooo good!)

Love your recipes!

Kate, this Mediterranean Squash Bowl was outstanding!! It had such great flavor. I added cubed cucumber and marinated it and the red onion in a Sweet Rose Wine Vinegar. That really took the bite out of the onion (the wife doesn’t like raw onion), with the vinegar adding a subtle sweetness and a nice crunch with the cucumber. She loved that added touch. Glad I happened upon your site.

Great recipe, tried it tonight. Nice blend of flavors!

We love your spaghetti squash pizza bowls and were skeptical that anything could live up to that bowl of deliciousness. This certainly does-- and it feels even more healthy. The colors, the fresh vegetables, the yummy pesto-- it all comes together in a delicious squash bowl. Who doesn't love eating directly out of a vegetable? Yum.

Hello, I am a very traditional cook faced with feeding five adults - one is a vegetarian, two do not eat beef or pork (mostly vegetarian as they are from India), one dislikes most vegetarian dishes. Tough group to cook for every night unless I make two different meals. I made the Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Bowls tonight. Even though no one ever ate spaghetti squash when served in place of pasta, EVERYONE loved this dish. The vegetarian ate it as the main meal. I served Italian sausage made from chicken for those who needed something more. I have used other of your recipes, thanks for all your work, you make my days easier. Have a great evening. Adus p.s. Why did I have spaghetti squash if no one likes it? My neighbor gave me a giant one, in this time, I am loathed to waste anything.

This recipe rocks!! Not the greatest in the kitchen but I can follow a recipe. This was very simple and took me about an hour. I love spaghetti squash and this was a great alternative. Have to have the pesto. Fortunately I had some on hand. Thank you so much for the recipe

Wow! this was my first time trying to make spaghetti squash and it couldn't have been easier. I had lots of avocados and tomatoes, so I added them to the salad and omitted the pesto, DE-LISH! I am buying your cookbook and can't wait to try some of your other recipes. Thanks so much!

Good recipes for spaghetti squash but you are missing one of the best parts. Those seeds you are discarding. Rinse them and sprinkle with salt as desired. Throw them on the cooking sheet with the squash and bake. Now you have great and nutritious ( I think ) roasted seeds. May even be great in your pesto! If you enjoy pumpkin seeds in the fall, welcome to the rest of the year.

Delicious spaghetti squash I really liked baking on cookie sheet with olive oil & spices! [no water] I added (when ready to serve) ricotta cheese & salsa—mmmmm thank you

This is my new go to recipe!! I’m typing this as I eat it for the first time because it’s SO GOOD and packed with so much flavour. I added a little extra garlic and basil, and tossed in some avocado which was a nice addition!

Amazing!! Instead of serving in the bowls I scooped the squash into a casserole dish to make it a little easier to serve. So delicious.

This was my first time cooking with spaghetti squash. It wasn't as hard to cook as I thought and this dish was soooo good! The only thing I changed using almonds in the pesto instead of pepitas. Definitely on my fall repeat list!

Made this today for lunch and it was good, but not great.

This was absolutely delicious!!! I’ve made countless recipes from both your site and cookbook now, yet every time I try something new I am still amazed at how you get it just right every.single.time :) I can only imagine how much testing you do for each recipe to make it so foolproof for us, so thank you so much! This was such an inspired, fresh take on traditional pesto with pasta, which is delicious but can be a bit heavy at times. The extra lemon in this pesto, lack of cheese, pepitas instead of pine nuts and mix of parsley and basil just tasted perfect together. So fresh and delicious with the spaghetti squash and chickpea salad mixture. I’ll be making this again soon!
