Baked Feta Pasta

Check out this delicious, simple-to-prepare Baked Feta Pasta by @feelgoodfoodie.

Tip: Instead of a microwave, you can prick the squash all over with a fork and bake it whole at 400°F for 10 minutes to soften it before cutting it open.

Ingredients:

  • 1 spaghetti squash split in half and seeds removed

  • 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 handful basil, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and discard. Place cut side up in the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Break the feta block in half and place each half in the middle of each squash half. Add the cherry tomatoes on top, along with the garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Bake until the feta cheese looks melty and golden brown on the edges and the spaghetti squash is fork tender, about 45-50 minutes.

  5. Stir it all together and scatter with with fresh basil. Enjoy immediately.
