Vegetable Ragout with Spaghetti Squash and a side of edamame on a white plate over a green folded cloth napkin

Have you ever heard the advice “eat the rainbow” when it comes to incorporating more produce into your diet? The more colors on your plate, the more nutrients you’re getting.

Vegetable ragout over spaghetti squash with a side of edamame incorporates quite a few colors into one meatless, hearty meal! It’s a simple dish that’s sure to leave you feeling satisfied.

Spaghetti squash is a great way to replace starchy pasta. It’s a delicious and nutritious base for ragout as well!

While this dish may look like it has a lot of steps, it’s actually very simple to make. Just roast the squash, add the ragout ingredients to a skillet, and cook the edamame in the microwave. I’ve also got a few time-saving tips for you below!

How to make vegetable ragout over spaghetti squash

This is a very straightforward recipe that comes together easily. Let’s see how it’s done!

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush a baking sheet with about a teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 2: Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and garlic pepper. Place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until the squash can easily be pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Add the remaining broth with the corn, squash, carrots, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, about 5 more minutes.

Step 6: Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 2 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7: While the ragout is cooking, heat the edamame according to package directions. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 8: Run a fork along the spaghetti squash to create strands. Divide onto 4 plates.

Step 9: Serve the ragout over the spaghetti squash. Divide the edamame onto the 4 plates.

Your meatless ragout will be ready to enjoy in less than an hour!

Time-saving tips for this recipe

Want to shorten the cooking process? I have a few ways to make prep an absolute breeze!

First, you can cook the spaghetti squash ahead of time. Once cooled, wrap it in plastic or foil and refrigerate. When you’re ready to enjoy, just shred the squash and add it to the ragout to heat it up.

Next, you can buy pre-chopped produce. Personally, I don’t mind chopping up the garlic, carrots, onions, squash, or tomatoes while the spaghetti squash roasts. But if you want to use that time for something else, go ahead and grab the pre-chopped ingredients!

Finally, you’re welcome to use shelled edamame and add it straight to the ragout along with the corn. That way, you won’t have to cook it separately.

Storage

Depending on the size of your spaghetti squash, you may not use it all. You can wrap any extra in plastic or foil and refrigerate for up to a week.

Leftover ragout can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I recommend eating within 5 days.
