Spaghetti Squash Supreme

Here is a spaghetti squash dish that is more reminiscent of spaghetti than squash. The vegetables add some texture and the sauce adds flavor. Vary it as you wish, this makes a quick and simple side dish.

Spaghetti Squash Supreme
1 medium spaghetti squash
sliced mushrooms
chopped onions
tomato sauce
oil
spices

Cook the spaghetti squash until tender. This can be done in the oven or even on the barbecue, but i did it in the microwave. Just be careful not to overcook it like I did. It should be tender but not mushy, as you want strands and not mashed squash. 
Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a pot. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until tender and browned. Stir in the sauce and spices and simmer. 
Pull the squash into strands and add to the sauce mixture. This may be served immediately, covered and simmered to cook longer or keep warm, or covered and placed in the oven for a while.
