Spaghetti Squash Feta Pasta
Super easy twist on the viral baked feta pasta that is healthier and so fun for summer.
Ingredients:
Spaghetti Squash
Baby Tomatoes
Garlic
Feta (8 oz)
Basil
Steps:
1. Cut your spaghetti squash in half. The squash can be very hard to cut so stick it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it (try 10 seconds increments).
2. Using a spoon scrape out all the spaghetti squash guts and seeds.
3. Wash baby tomatoes and minced garlic.
4. Break up feta block into chunks (i split it in half between the two sides of the squash) and add baby tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper.
5. Bake at 400 F (My oven says 375 because it’s weird) for 40 minutes. Depending on your oven it might need longer or shorter timing. Start with 30 minutes and check the sides to see if they are soft.
6. Mash up all the ingredients in the squash and enjoy!
Not an original idea.
