Yields1 Serving
 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
  2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  1 onion, chopped
  1 sweet red pepper, 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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 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.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in oil until tender. Add the sweet red pepper and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warm.

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.
