It wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to say that spaghetti squash is a magical vegetable.

Slice it in half, roast it in an oven – and voila! – this yellow, football-shaped squash turns into strands of “spaghetti.”

All you have to do is run your fork through the flesh to separate the strands, then top with your favorite sauce or vegetables.

In this recipe, we sauteéd onions, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes with white wine and finished it with fresh herbs and shaved parmesan.
