2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Put squash halves cut side down in a 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish.
Pour in 1/2 cup of water; cover the dish securely with plastic wrap.
Using a sharp knife, cut four slits in plastic to serve as steams vents.
Cook in microwave on the high setting for 12 minutes, rotating dish halfway through, until squash is soft when touched.
Let stand, covered,3 to 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss together all remaining ingredients except pinenuts;set aside.
