Ingredients

2 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons green olive brine (from the olive jar)
2 (6-ounce) cans chunk white tuna in water, drained
String cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

Directions

Arrange the spaghetti squash halves in the bottom of a slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Spoon the mixture over the spaghetti squash. Pour the olive brine in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

When ready to serve, using a fork, "loosen" the squash slightly, creating spaghetti-like strands. Spoon the tomato sauce over the squash, top each piece with some tuna, string cheese, and basil and serve.

Savory spaghetti squash with crockpot- what are you naysayers talking about?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Robin's hair is lackluster but this recipe shines. I found it interesting how people either hated the recipes or loved it . I... am in the latter. I've wanted to find a different spaghetti squash recipe and here it is .The tomato broth with the olives etc breaks down the spaghetti squash to make a savory mixture. Nothing gets in the way and everything complements the main vegetable. Cooking with the crock pot was a great idea. The tuna and the cheese match with olives and the brothy finish to the squash is superb. I have not idea what the people who did not like this dish are talking about it. Everything worked and I am very happy I made it .Read more

Disgusting!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The tuna, squash, olives, and string cheese are NOT complimentary flavors! I can't believe anyone could get a child to eat... this. I gagged when I tasted it and threw it out. Didn't even bring it to the table for my family. I enjoy most of Robin's recipes, but this one was a real loser. Read more

Unexpectedly Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this the other night and it was delicious! I was a little queasy about using olives with tuna and spaghetti squash... but the flavors complement each other extremely well. I don't have a slow cooker so, I baked the spaghetti squash in the oven and just made the sauce on the stove. I would definitely recommend this!Read more

Great Summer Meal
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I saw the segment for this recipe and immediately went and got the ingredients. Easy and quick prep. The best part was it... cooked while I was able to do other things. My family loved it. I used tomatoes that were seasoned with oregano, basil and garlic. I also substituted a lite grated harvarti cheese for the string cheese. Thanks Robin, this was a keeperRead more
