Ingredients

2-3 pound spaghetti squash
1 16-ounce jar pasta sauce
12 olives with juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese

Directions

Pierce squash with fork 10 times. Microwave on high 8 minutes. Turn halfway and cook until you hear a hissing sound. Remove from oven and cool. This can be done a day ahead.

Slice squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Using a fork, scrape out the strands of squash. Place in a large bowl. It looks like yellow spaghetti. Add pasta sauce, juice from the olives and Italian seasoning in bowl. Heat in a pan or in the microwave. Divide squash evenly among four plates. Sprinkle with cheese and olives.
