Spaghetti Squash
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.

Step-by-step
- 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 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.
Spaghetti Squash: A Culinary Delight
As a bustling housewife, I'm always on the lookout for recipes that are both delicious and easy to prepare. When I stumbled upon spaghetti squash, I knew I had found a culinary gem. This unique squash, with its name that perfectly describes its appearance, has become a staple in my kitchen.
When baked, spaghetti squash transforms into a culinary masterpiece. Its tender flesh separates into long, stringy strands that resemble pasta. This makes it an excellent substitute for traditional pasta dishes, offering a healthier and more flavorful alternative. In this recipe, I combine the baked squash with a medley of sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil. The result is a dish that is both visually appealing and tantalizing to the taste buds.
