Remember that viral TikTok pasta trend that took over our kitchens during the pandemic? Well, I have a twist for you that’s healthier, even more delicious, and, dare I say, easier. Because it is!! A recipe for baked feta spaghetti squash on Instagram came up on my explore page (sadly, I didn’t save it to link it), and while I loved the concept of using spaghetti squash as a sub for authentic pasta, I am not a huge feta girl.

So, I switched it up and, instead of the feta, decided to use Boursin cheese since I had previously heard that it’s a good feta replacement. Holy yum! THIS DISH IS A WINNER!!! It truly did not disappoint, I mean, it’s creamy and oh-so-satisfying, plus my whole family was obsessed! Let’s dive into how to make this perfect dish for your next family dinner!

Servings 4

Ingredients

  

• 1 medium spaghetti squash, split in half with seeds removed PRO TIP: I recommend poking the spaghetti squash all over with a fork and then microwaving it for 3-5 minutes to make it easier to cut into!
• 1 round of Boursin cheese – I used Garlic and Fine Herbs Flavor but feel free to choose your favorite.
• 1/4 cup of olive oil plus a bit extra for drizzling
• Pinch of salt
• 4-6 minced garlic cloves PRO TIP: buy minced garlic in a jar and see the label conversion for how much you'll need – it's way easier!
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• fresh basil leaves for garnish
• a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Place halved and seeded spaghetti squash on a baking sheet facing the insides of each half up.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
• Cut the Boursin cheese in half and place one half of Boursin inside each of the spaghetti squash halves.
• Sprinkle half of the minced garlic on one half of the squash and the other half of minced garlic on the other half of the squash.
• Drop 1/2 cup of the halved cherry tomatoes on one of the squash boats and the other half inside the other squash boat.
• Drizzle a bit more olive oil on top of both boats and a pinch more salt.
• Bake it for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. You’re aiming for tender squash and melted cheese.
• After baking, remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes. Gently stir it all up using a fork, scraping the “spaghetti” from the sides of the squash. The creamy cheese, soft squash, and roasted tomatoes should come together.
• Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze on top!
• Grab a fork and dig in. You will love!!!
