Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes and Olives
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 5-1/4 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
This squash is outstanding as a side dish, but you can also top it with canned tuna to create a simple, healthy main dish. It's easy and so tasty! I like to use my own canned tomatoes for the best flavor. —Carol Chase, Sioux City, Iowa
