Brown ground beef, onion and green pepper. Add all sauce ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and black olives. Turn off heat. Cook spaghetti squash until done (10-20 minutes in microwave until fork tender). Split squash open, remove seeds. Spoon out squash. Shred to look like noodles. Press into pie pan, even up the sides. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Fill with sauce. Bake at 400° for 1 hour. Before removing from oven, cover with remaining mozzarella cheese. Let stand until cheese melts.
