Spaghetti Squash I

"Such a perfect name for this squash. When it's baked, its meat looks like glistening strands of pasta. For this recipe, the squash is baked and then combined with feta cheese, sauteed vegetables, olives, and basil. Lovely."

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash halved lengthwise and seeded

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

1 Onion chopped

1 clove Garlic minced

1 1/2 cups Tomato chopped

3/4 cup Feta cheese crumbled

3 tablespoons Kalamata olives

2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped


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 used cocunut oil instead of vegetable oil and omited the olives and added grilled chicken. Spaghetti squash was very hard to work with. My two year old and five year old boys loved it! ! It was okay for me wanted more tomato flavor

You can use dried basil and canned tomatoes with excellent results. [I posted this recipe.]
