Bake until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.)
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes, chickpeas, oregano, lemon zest, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
  3. Cut cooked squash in half lengthwise; scrape out seeds and then scrape strands of squash into skillet with a fork. Cook, stirring, until squash strands are well coated. Remove from heat and stir in dill or mint. Top each serving with feta cheese. Yields about 1 cup of squash and 1 tablespoon of cheese per serving.
