    1                    Spaghetti squash (4 lb)
    2       tb           Butter or margarine
      1/8   c            Minced onion
      1/4   c            Diced green bell pepper
      1/4   c            Diced red bell pepper
      1/2   ts           Dried oregano -- crushed
      1/4   ts           Dried marjoram -- crushed
      1/4   ts           Dried basil -- crushed
      1/4   ts           Minced garlic
    2       c            Shredded Monterey Jack
    2 1/4   oz           Canned sliced black olives
                         Salt, pepper
 
   Pierce squash with fork in several places. Place on baking sheet and bake
   at 350F 45 minutes. Turn and bake 45 minutes longer, or until shell yields
   to pressure. When cool enough to handle, cut squash in half. Scoop out and
   discard seeds. Remove spaghetti- like strings inside squash with fork and
   reserve. Melt butter in skillet. Saute onion and green and red peppers
   until tender. Add squash strands, oregano, marjoram, basil, garlic, cheese
   and olives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss until cheese is
   evenly distributed. Place in 1 1/2-quart casserole and return to oven until
   cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.
