Spaghetti Squash Vegetable Goolash

do you like the name of this one? :)  that's what it basically is... only, the word goolash does make it less appealing.  i first saw this idea on mckensie's blog (i mentioned her in the previous post as well) and then i saw it on one of my favorite blogs, The Body of Mother.  they both had different ways of making it, and i made my own as well.  basically, the main idea is-- spaghetti squash substituted for pasta is divine (and healthy!).  this is what i did..

1 spaghetti squash
1 jar marinara sauce
2-4 cloves garlic
chicken

1 green pepper
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
broccoli (cut into small pieces)

first, cut the spaghetti squash in half (take out the guts),  lay it flat side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 45min- hour at 350.  when it's done, scoop out all the noodles and put into a bowl.  i added some butter and salt and pepper and let it sit.

while the squash is cooking in the oven, dice chicken and cook in frying pan until cooked through.  add diced/sliced veggies to pan with olive oil and a few cloves of minced garlic.  cook until veggies are tender.

finally, layer the "noodles", veggies/chicken, and top with marinara sauce.  now that i think back to it, we should have put some cheese on top- we'll have to add that next time!  :)   this is a delicious meal, and we were SO full afterwards!  definitely got our share of veggies for the day!
