Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
1 clove garlic, diced, or more to taste
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ cup chevre or other soft goat cheese, crumbled
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, or to taste
3 tablespoons butter, or to taste, cut into small cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush the inside of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until squash is easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper. Cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and basil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove spaghetti squash from oven, cool slightly, and shred the cooked squash into spaghetti-like strands. Place strands in a bowl. Add bell pepper mixture, goat cheese, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined. Spoon mixture back into the squash halves. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and butter cubes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and bread crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes.
