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.

    Immense. Loved it to bits. I'v cooked it when my parents have come down and for a small dinner party on a bed of rocket. Iv found by adding a couple of small chunks of choritzo before grilling it and sprinkling with some grilled pine nuts makes it that extra bit special.

    Delicious. Would definitely make again. Cooking time fine for my butternut squashes and I used Feta cheese. Made a little more breadcrumb mix, too.

    Really great recipe. To cook in advance I roasted the squash and the other ingredients earlier in the day, once cooled, added the cheese (feta for me) and assembled ready to pop back into the oven for a further 25 mins! This worked well and the flavours were just lovely. Will definitely make again and certainly recommend as an impressive vegetarian main course. (I also roasted whole garlic cloves with the filling ingredients and once cooked, squeezed out and mixed in for depth of flavour)

    This was fab. Made quite a few modifications but only because I didn't have many of the ingredients. Used feta instead of goats cheese, walnuts instead of pine nuts, didn't have peppers so just left them out, used finely grated cheddar instead of parmesan in the breadcrumb mixture and also added about 1.5tbsps of dukkah (a Moroccan mix of sesame seeds, spices and nuts) to the topping. Oh, I also roasted half a bulb of garlic with the roasting veg and squeezed it out and mixed in, as the above comment suggests. It was so delicious my husband said it was the equivalent of a posh restaurant level steak for vegetarians. Will definitely be making this again.

    Yummy, it not only looks good but tastes it too, i also had to cook the squash for longer but worth the wait.

    Found this rather disappointing. The flavours were a little bland and the texture was rather gooey. I think I followed the recipe correctly so I guess this is just not one for me.

    Brilliant recipe, my husband and I are not vegetarian but loved this and have cooked it a couple of times. Substituted feta cheese for the goats cheese and was lovely

    This recipe is one of our absolute favourites. My two year old daughter loves it. We mix some of the goats cheese in with the vegetables, and then put scatter some on the top too so that it goes crispy and gooey with the breadcrumbs.

    Although not vegetarians we absolutely loved this. Cooking time for my SMALL squash was fine. Packed full of flavour. Will be making this on a regular basis.

    Great recipe and looks very impressive. I had to basically double the time in the oven to get my butternut squash tender though. Next time i'll use more goats cheese Skin becomes so tender you can eat it too!

    Really nice, would make this again. Didn't cost much and very filling. I served it alongside a corn on the cob which was very nice. I liked the goats cheese, but I will try it again with feta next time as others have suggested. Also I think I will add more cheese to filling and forgo the breadcrumb and parmesan topping which was a bit of a faff for what it added to the dish.

    This is one of my favourite Autumn recipes- it is so filling you only need a light salad with it. I also swap the Parmesan for a little strong cheddar.
