Tuck in the slices of tomato here and there, along with the olives. Drizzle the remaining oil over the top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue to bake another 10 minutes or so, or until the squash is tender and the juices are reduced. Allow to cool and serve warm or tepid.
