Spaghetti Squash

I made Spaghetti Squash for dinner the other night.  My family loved it and they would like us to eat it again.  Here is the recipe:


1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons veg. oil (I used olive oil)
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (did not have this used shredded cheese)
3 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (did not have and did not miss it)


Directions....
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.


2. Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 - 45 mins 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 - 3 mins.  Stir in 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 added chicken to make it a meal.  Otherwise it is more like a side dish.  We were able to get two meals out of this.
