2 medium spraghetti squash, halved lengthwise
14 oz. can diced tomatoes

1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 T. green olive brine (from olive jar)

Description
Arrange the spaghetti squash halves in the bottom of a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, olives, oregano, and 1/2 tsp. each of salt and 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, pour off tomato mixture into a bowl, "loosen" the squash slightly, creating spaghetti-like strands. Mix tuna into tomato mixture and spoon over squash, top with fresh basil and cheese and put into microwave until cheese is melted.
