Ingredients
  

1 medium spaghetti squash

8 oz Boursin cheese (or similar soft cheese)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

      Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until fork-tender.

        While the squash is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

          Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet, cooking until the tomatoes are soft and the spinach is wilted (about 5-7 minutes). Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

            Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, carefully flip the halves over. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands, creating spaghetti-like noodles.

              In a large bowl, combine the spaghetti squash strands, Boursin cheese, and the sautéed tomatoes and spinach. Mix until well combined.

                Spoon the mixture back into the squash halves and return to the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                  Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
