Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 2 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

  • 1 cube vegetable bouillon

  • black pepper to taste

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black olives, chopped

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Spray a baking sheet with a thin layer of cooking spray. Place squash halves cut-side down on the baking sheet.

  3. Bake squash in the preheated oven until a knife can be easily inserted, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  4. Grease a nonstick saucepan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until golden brown. Stir in tomatoes, basil, bouillon cube, and black pepper. Cook until thickened, about 15 minutes.

  5. Remove squash strands with a fork, reserving shells. Layer each half with a spoonful of sauce, a layer of spaghetti squash strands, olives, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until shells are full or until all ingredients are used. Top with Parmesan cheese.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until Parmesan cheese melts, about 20 minutes.

Tips

If you like, place the squash seeds on the same baking sheet as the spaghetti squash, sprinkle with garlic salt, and roast until done, about 30 minutes. Use them as appetizers.
