Ingredients

1 (2 1/2 lb) spaghetti squash

1 tsp. roasted garlic-flavored vegetable oil (I use olive oil and 1 clove of minced garlic)

2 cups thinly sliced leek (about one leek)

2 (16-oz) cans navy beans, drained

1 (14 1/2 oz.) can stewed tomatoes, undrained

2 Tbl. ripe olives, chopped

1 Tbl. balsamic vinegar

1/4 tsp. salt

freshly ground pepper

Directions

Wash squash, cut in half lengthwise. Remove and discard seeds. Place squash, cut sides down, in a 13" x 9" baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until tender, let cool slightly. Using a fork, remove spaghetti-like strands from squash, discard shell. Place strands on a platter; set aside and keep warm.

Coat a saucepan with cooking spray, add oil. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add leek and saute` 3 minutes or until tender. Add beans and tomatoes; cook over medium heat 5 minutes. Stir in olives and next 3 ingredients; cook until thoroughly heated. Spoon over squash.

Looks like dinner tonight for me. Fits well with what I have in the pantry. I do believe I'll change it just a tad and reduce the amount of beans to 1 can and add 6 oz of grilled chicken. Then it will fit what's in the pantry perfectly.

I have had good success cooking the squash a bit differently.

Wash the squash, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds. Place the halves flesh side down in a glass dish, put several slits in the gourd and microwave on high for 8 minutes.

This reduces the prep time quite a bit and it still comes out great.
