SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TOMATO, BASIL, & FETA

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife cut the squash in half from stem to bottom. (If too hard to cut, microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften first.) Scoop out seeds and discard (or see note for using the seeds). Place the two halves face down in a casserole dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Reserve one of the shell halves to serve in, if desired.
• Bake at 400° for 50-60 minutes (this will depend on the size of the squash). When done, the outer skin will be soft enough for a fork to easily penetrate.
• Prep the remaining ingredients, as the rest of the dish will come together quickly.
• Once the squash is tender, remove from the oven and set aside to cool enough to handle, turn squash face up and use a fork to separate the strands. Set aside until ready to toss with the other ingredients.
