Spaghetti Squash "Pasta"

INGREDIENTS

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
3/4 cup crumbled feta
3 Tbsp sliced black olives
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

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.

In the meantime, 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. Remove from heat.

Gently scrape the tines of a kitchen fork around the edge of the spaghetti squash to shred the pulp into strands. Place this spaghetti in a medium bowl. Toss with the sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. Serve warm.
