Not totally vegetarian, but very good

My sister's friend grows spaghetti squash. I suspect my sister does not know how to cook it. So she gave two of them to me. Spaghetti squash un cut and uncooked will keep a long time on the counter, but I wanted to fix one. I chose the smaller one. I split it in half, scraped out the seeds. Put it with a little water in a covered dish in the microwave for 9 minutes each half. I placed the cooked ones face down on a cookie sheet while I did more prep. Lucky me, I have tons of yummy veggies on hand. I cut up beautiful red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. I chopped three cloves of garlic, a small red onion and four big white button mushrooms into the cooking liquid from the squash and cooked those for five minutes. When that was done I scraped the spaghetti squash out of the shell and stirred it, and about 1/4 parmesan cheese, and a 16 oz jar of Alfredo sauce all together with the cooked veggies. I also added a bag of fully cooked shrimp. I heated the dish one more time. Like I said, it is a lot of vegetables, but not totally vegetarian. Alfredo sauce has milk and cream. Parmesan cheese and shrimp are not vegetarian, either. Before I added the shrimp, I took a container out to take to my sister. She is allergic to shrimp. She will be able to enjoy this with chunks of chicken in it. So that is my creative lunch for today.
