Ingredients

    • 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved, seeds removed
    • 2 tablespoons Fustini's Garlic olive oil, divided
    • Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 small red onion, chopped
    • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
    • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
    • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1/2 teaspoon Fustini's Tuscan Spice blend
    • 2 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
    • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
    • freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°,. Drizzle cut sides of spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Using a fork, break up squash strands. Keep oven on.
    2. Meanwhile, make filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining olive oil. Add onions and bell pepper and cook until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, and lemon zest. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and stir until combined. Cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken. Remove from heat.
    3. Divide the mixture between squash halves and stir to combine with squash strands. Top each half with mozzarella and return to oven to melt for 5 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley before serving.
