Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds then cut criss-cross patterns over the cut-side of each one. Mix together the garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, chilli and thyme and brush this mixture over the flesh. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the flesh is tender.
  2. To make the filling, put the courgette, pepper and onion in a roasting tin and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Season and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and starting to brown at the edges. Add the cherry tomatoes and pine nuts and cook for another 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley and parmesan. Arrange the roasted vegetables and goat's cheese in the squash halves, scatter with the breadcrumb mix and bake for a further 10 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

    Really lovely and very filling! I used feta though instead of goats cheese.

    due to lack of household item, i substituted with acorn squash and sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. it was still great but really not a fan of the bread crumbs, but will defo keep the parmesan/parsley topping. also next time i will layer with the goat cheese and the veggie filling. (even my carnivorous brother-in-law liked it!)

    I'm excited to make this as it looks and sounds amazing, but when it says to cut a criss cross pattern on it does it mean to just score the top or cut right down to (but obviously not through) the skin? Would be greatful if anyone could help me!

    I made this last night and it was yummy. I subbed the courgette for an aubergine as not too keen on courgettes. Was lovely and filling and got the thumbs up from my almost veggie/always on a diet dinner companion. I scored the squash almost down to the skin, and cooked it for a bit longer than stated.

    Absolutely delish, I think the problem some people are having with the squash being undercooked is they are not following the recipe correctly. You need to put the squash in the oven for 35-40 mins and the put the veg in to roast with the butternut squash for 20-25 mins. Assemble the squash with the veg, cheese and breadcrumbs and cook for a further 10 mins. This makes a total baking time of 65-75min which gives a very soft texture. The only alteration I make is to sprinkle with balsamic vinegar when finished as this cuts the sweetness of the flesh. My favourite vegetable recipe so far.

    Great filling lunch, tried it minus a few ingredients such as the tomatoes and breadcrumbs. Had no goats cheese either so used plain old chedder but it came out grear surprisingly. Never had butternut squash before will have to start making it more often. But I realised you have to cook for about 55mins.

    This is delicious! I too had the same problem with the squash being undercooked, so thanks to Santa 1 for clarifying the recipe. Despite that, it was edible and really tasty. I made extra stuffing and roast veggies, so will try again in the next couple of days with the squash being cooked for longer.

    This was wonderful - I didn't have courgettes so replaced with mushrooms and chopped baby corn instead. It was a very easy recipe to follow and smelled amazing as it cooked! I will definately make this again, but instead of goats cheese next time I think I will use Feta - the salty cheese will suit the sweet roast vegetables perfectly.

    Great idea for a nice, vegetarian main course. I added walnuts instead of pine nuts. Was yummy!
