    As the week runs out before the farmer's market, we are left with only the most hardy vegetables, leftover bread and eggs.

  3. Bake squash in the 425 degree oven for about an hour. You should be able to stick your fork into it when it is done.

  4. Meanwhile, toss the tablespoon of oil in a hot pan and saute the chopped red bell pepper, chopped onions and minced garlic. Once cooked as desired, turn off the heat and throw the diced tomato on top.

  5. When the squash is finished baking, use a towel to hold it (or let it cool if you are patient enough) and scrap out the insides with a fork. They will look exactly like little pieces of spaghetti.

I made it tonight and thought it was quite good. Didn't have peppers but sauteed some green garlic instead of all the other veg. Needed a little acid so some lemon juice at the end was a nice touch. And, I accidentally forgot the parm. Oops!
