Spaghetti Squash Italianized

:: 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
:: 2 T. olive oil
:: 1 onion, chopped
:: 2 cloves garlic, chopped
:: 1 1/2 cups chopped roma tomatoes
:: 3/4 C. crumbled feta
:: 3 T. sliced black olives
:: 2 T. chopped fresh basil

Original recipe says to bake the halved spaghetti squash on lightly greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until flesh is tender... I saran wrap the halves and microwave it for 10 to 15 minutes depending on size of squash.

Meanwhile, heat oil in skillet on medium heat and saute onion until tender. Add garlic, saute for 2 -3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook only until tomatoes are warm.

Scoop flesh from squash into bowl and toss with sauteed veggies, feta, olives, basil. Serve warm.

This is really good though basil can be hard to find/costly in winter.
