Place the seeded squash halves, cut side down, in a glass baking dish. Add ¼ cup of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 8-10 min. until tender. Cool and then scrap pulp from skin-it will look like spaghetti noodles.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the olive oil, add the onion and cook until translucent, med. heat about 3-5 min. add the zucchini  and cook 4-5 min longer until it is tender and slightly browned.  Add the tomatoes and salt/pepper and simmer on low for about 10 min.
