  • 220 g feta
  • ½ tsp Chili flakes
  • 4 cloves Garlic

Spaghetti Squash

  • 1 Spaghetti squash
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • ½ tsp Salt

Garnish

  • ½ cup Fresh basil chopped
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Place the tomatoes into a 9×13 baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss or stir to coat.

  • Push the tomatoes aside to make a space in the center of the dish and place the block of feta in the center. Sprinkle the tomatoes and feta with chili flakes (optional).
    220 g feta, 1/2 tsp Chili flakes
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and place on a 2nd 9×13 baking dish, cut side up. Drizzle the halves with olive oil. Season with salt. Flip the halves over, cut side down on the pan.

  • Place the pans with spaghetti squash and cheese side by side in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, until tomatoes pucker and burst, and a knife inserted into the spaghetti squash skin goes in with only a little resistance.
  • After removing both pans from the oven, quickly turn the spaghetti squash halves cut side up. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, before the tomatoes and feta has the chance to cool, use a garlic press to crush the garlic cloves over the feta. Add the fresh basil and parmesan immediately, stir together, forming a creamy sauce.
