Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or grease with butter.
Arrange spaghetti squash cut sides down on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 30 minutes, or until a fork or a small 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. Stir in onion, and cook until tender. Stir in garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes until tomatoes are warm.
Use a large spoon to scoop the stringy pulp from the squash, and arrange in a large bowl.
Mix in the sauteed vegetables, feta cheese, olives, and basil; toss until well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste if desired. Serve warm.
