Heat a medium-large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and saute shallots until tender. Add tomatoes and continue to cook until tomatoes have rendered most of their liquid. Add capers, olives and mashed anchovy filet, then season to taste. Once squash has cooled, scoop the flesh with a fork from the skin.
Chic Tip:
For a chicer presentation when serving, using tongs twirl squash onto each plate and spoon tomato-caper sauce over. Top each serving with slices of basil leaves and sun dried tomatoes and sprinkle with grated low-fat Parmesan cheese.
