Spaghetti Squash With Sauteed Veggies

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes (I like to use fresh, so I blanch them to remove the skins before chopping them)
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 Tbsp sliced black olives
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

* Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
* Place spaghetti squash cut side 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, through the skin of the squash. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool.
* Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion in oil until tender. Add garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until tomatoes are warm
* Use a large spoon or a meat fork to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash and place in a medium bowl. Toss with sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives and basil.
Serve warm and prepare to fall in love with spaghetti squash Ü
