Spaghetti squash

I found this awesome recipe today! I immediately did not follow it. Well, sort of. A little bit.

I rarely cook this squash. It's probably been over a year since I did it last, and I usually just sub it for pasta and put ground meat and sauce on it. But I decided that was boring, so I went to the interwebs for inspiration, as usual.

I like the recipe, basically a warm spaghetti squash salad/stir fry. A salad fry, if you will. Maybe not. That sounds kinda icky.

Anyway, I baked the squash, and followed the recipe until "add garlic." Then I added kale, tomato and orange bell pepper to the pan, before mixing it all together and sprinkling feta chees on top. It was a rainbow in a bowl! I think I should have either added more garlic or some other spices. I like the Italian style of the original recipe, but I don't love olives and I forgot to buy basil. I think spicing up the squash would have been good, since it's basically just bland fiber. Maybe a sauce or a dressing would have helped, but that also would have made it way less healthy. Any suggestions on how to keep this a super healthy dish while spicing it up?
