DIRECTIONS

 

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with

a thin layer of cooking spray. Place squash halves cut side down on the

baking sheet.

2. Bake squash 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife can be

easily inserted. Remove from oven, and cool.

3. Meanwhile, spray a non-stick saucepan with cooking spray. Over medium

heat, saute the onion and garlic until golden brown. Stir in tomatoes,

basil, bouillon cube, and black pepper. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until

you have a medium thick sauce.

4. Remove squash strands with a fork, reserving the shells. Layer each half

with a spoonful of the sauce, a layer of spaghetti squash strands, olives,

and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until shells are full, or until all of

the ingredients are used. Top with Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until Parmesan cheese

melts.

squash, sprinkle with garlic salt, and roast until done, about 30 minutes.
