Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Whole spaghetti squash, halved
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1.5 Cups chopped tomatoes
• 0.75 Cups crumbled feta cheese
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) sliced black olives
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh basil, torn

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Place the spaghetti squash cut-sides down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until a sharp knife can be inserted with only a little resistance. Remove from the oven and let cool until it can be handled easily.
3. While the squash is cooling, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the minced onion in the oil until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until warmed through.
4. Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash and place it in a medium bowl.
5. Toss the squash pulp with the cooked onion-tomato mixture, crumbled feta cheese, sliced black olives, and torn fresh basil.
6. Serve warm and enjoy the savory blend of flavors.
