US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
2 cups spinach raw
1 medium red onion peeled & finely chopped
2 cloves garlic peeled & chopped
4 oz goats cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees
Line a baking tin or dish with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the spaghetti squash.
Cut the spaghetti squash into half, lengthwise.
Remove the seeds and the stringy parts of the flesh. Best scooped out with a spoon.
Drizzle half of the olive oil all over the two halves and season the inside with salt and pepper.
Place the squash cut side down on the baking tin.
Bake for 35-45 minutes. Smaller squash will cook quicker so check after 30 minutes to see if the squash is cooked. (Poke it with a knife to check the flesh is tender).
Whilst the squash is baking, prepare the filling.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Sautee for 5-8 minutes until soft and golden.
Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the goats cheese.
When the squash is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Turn the squash around and with a fork gently pull the squash flesh from the skin so that it starts to look like spaghetti strands.
Spoon the spaghetti squash flesh into the spinach mixture and gently combine. Season to taste.
Place the filling into the spaghetti squash cases and place back into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Eat and enjoy!
