Instructions

Place the spaghetti squash cut-side down in a shallow baking dish with about 1/2 inch of water.
Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the microwave and let cool on a cutting board for about 5 minutes.
Use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Stir in the spaghetti squash and season with garlic powder, thyme, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
