Spaghetti Squash with Feta and Olives
This recipe calls for spaghetti squash which resembles pasta when it is scooped out. It's a great vegetable dish.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 300g chopped tomatoes
- 125g feta, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions
Preparation:10min ›
Cook:40min ›
Ready in:50min
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Place spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking tray, 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 frying pan over medium heat. Fry onion in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and fry further 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, and cook only until tomatoes are warmed through.
- Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and place in a medium bowl. Toss with the vegetables, feta, olives, and basil. Serve warm.

This is agreat dish! Too inprove the spaghetti squash's tenderness, just put it in a baking dish close to it's size and add 1 1/2 cups of water for the same baking time and it will be wonderfully soft and perfect. - 17 Nov 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
My boyfriend and I had never had spaghetti squash, but as he said, I would give it a 10 star if I could. I am not a fan of squash at all.... but this was so good... All the right blends of veggies. I didnt have fresh basil, used less of the dry basil, also sauted veggies in olive oil , and depending on the size of squash might take longer then 30 mins, i just did the knife test, and knew it needed more time, so added 15 more minutes on.Had a medium size one and well there wasnt any left overs. I had a bowl and bf had the rest, he loved it.. So hats off to the chef who made this a keeper in our house. I also added grated parmesan cheese on top after it was served, yummy we love cheese and a loaf of fresh bread to go with it is a meal in it self. This would go great as a side dish for the parmesan tilapia fish , that I also found on here. That too was good. I love to cook and have found so many good recipes on here, this is at the top.... go figure and I thought I hated squash. - 23 Oct 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I wanted to add a P.S. to my rating. The next day I added some beaten egg and bread crumbs to the leftovers to add substance. I formed the squash into round patties and breaded them with bread crumbs. I then browned them in Canola oil and they were sooooo delicious. My boyfriend loves this recipe and he loved what I did with the leftovers too. - 22 Oct 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
