    Title: Pesto Burgers w/Spaghetti Squash
    Categories: Beef, Squash, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 lb Spaghetti squash
    1/2 c Water
    1 lb Ground beef
    1/4 c Basil pesto
    1/4 ts Black pepper
    1 lg Red bell pepper; seeded; in
    - quarters
    1 md Onion; in 1/2" slices
    - cooking spray
    2 tb White balsamic vinegar
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/4 c Fine shredded Parmesan
    Snipped fresh basil or
    - parsley (opt)

    Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds.
    Place one squash half, cut side down, in a 2-quart
    rectangular microwave-safe baking dish; add 1/4 cup of the
    water. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave about 10
    minutes or until tender. Remove squash half; keep warm.
    Repeat with the remaining squash half and the remaining
    1/4 cup water.

    Meanwhile, in a bowl combine beef, pesto, and 1/8 teaspoon
    of the black pepper. Using your hands, shape mixture into
    four 3/4" patties. Lightly coat pepper quarters and onion
    slices with cooking spray.

    Grill patties, pepper quarters, and onion slices, covered,
    over medium heat. Grill patties 12 to 14 minutes or until
    done, turning once. Grill pepper and onion 7 to 8 minutes
    or until just tender, turning once.

    When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred
    and separate the squash pulp into strands. Measure 4 cups
    into a large bowl. Reserve and refrigerate any remaining
    squash for another use. Remove any charred skin from the
    pepper quarters and discard. Chop the pepper and onion
    slices; add to squash along with vinegar, salt, and the
    remaining black pepper. Toss to combine.

    Divide squash mixture among four plates. Top with patties.
    Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and, if desired, snipped
    fresh basil.

    Makes: 4 servings
