Spaghetti squash in the place of pasta makes this a high-fiber, low-carb meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Tbs sliced Kalamata olives
  • 3/4 cup crumbled, fat-free feta cheese
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 lb white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 1 spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish

Directions

  • With the tip of a knife, pierce squash in about 5 places. Place on paper towel in microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes, or until squash has softened. When cool enough to handle, cut squash lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon. Remove the spaghetti-like strands of squash with a fork, set aside and cover to keep warm (or reheat in microwave at serving time).
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a single layer of mushrooms and cook, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms become red-brown on one side. Stir in onion and garlic and cook for 3 more minutes, until onions are softened. Add tomatoes, cheese and olives and cook about 3 minutes longer, until mixture is hot and bubbling. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil.
  • Divide squash among 4 shallow serving bowls. Spoon sauce over spaghetti squash and garnish with additional freshly chopped basil. Serve immediately.
