Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a very large pan of water to a boil. Add spaghetti squash and cook until it pierces easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 2

While squash is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Remove squash from the boiling water. Let cool slightly, then use oven mitts and cut squash lengthwise. Scoop out and discard seeds.

Step 4

Use a long fork to pull out strands of spaghetti squash into a serving bowl. Add sauteed veggies, basil, and olives and toss to combine.
