Ingredients:  
1 Spaghetti Squash (or 1 lb spaghetti pasta)
½ pound mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 ½ cans diced tomatoes with oregano
3 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
½ green pepper, coarsely chopped
½ yellow pepper, coarsely chopped
½ pound asparagus, chopped in ½ - 1 inch pieces (opt.)
8-10 green olives cut in half
1 to 1 ½ bulbs shallot, chopped

Banana pepper rings to taste
A couple of handfuls of fresh baby spinach
Feta cheese to taste, some cooked in and some for garnishing afterwards

Directions:
Directions:
If using a spaghetti squash, boil water (enough to mostly cover the spaghetti squash. Poke holes in the squash with a large fork and put into water. Cover with lid and boil about 30 minutes until it is tender when it is poked with the fork or a knife. If using pasta, prepare as directed on the package.

While it is boiling, fry mushrooms in a large frying pan. Add the canned tomatoes, and then the rest of the earlier ingredients and stir fry. Sprinkle a good amount of seasoning over top as it is frying.

When the squash is tender, remove from water and cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove center seeds, then a table fork to separate the strands and move to a bowl (or we just use the pan). Add the later ingredients to the fried veggies and cover the spaghetti looking squash, and mix.

This recipe can be widely varied, adding/removing veggies to taste and availability.
