Spaghetti Squash
1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise
and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions:
1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. |
2. | Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove squash from oven, and set aside to cool enough to be easily handled. |
3. | Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warm. |
4. | Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. Serve warm. |

I too LOVE speghetti squash.
Mom made this and tried to pass it off and everybody objected. I have never tried it as an adult because of that one horrible time. Maybe I'll be brave and try again.
I'm sort of like Magical Mom - had a bad experience with watery flavorless spaghetti squash and have steered clear every since. Maybe it's time to give it another try..
