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.

    Yum yum. Just had this for supper. Goats cheese was slightly sweet, will try blue cheese next time. Definitely one to make again.

    This is absolutely delicious I have made it without the cheese for a vegan and without breadcrumbs for gluten free person. (I have some strange friends) each version equally delicious x x x

    Wonderful. I can't wait to have this again! I used a small butternut squash and 45 mins cooking time was fine. Overall the dish was quite sweet so I'd use a bit more goats cheese next time.

    Really nice dish, I did my own take on it and didn't follow the recipe word for word. I used feta as I find goats cheese a bit too strong, sundried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes and didn't bother with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and pine nuts (although I may do next time). It turned out really well and I will be cooking this again. I like to get an idea of a recipe and then change to my taste. Big thumbs up and great for a veggie night. I served this with some pasta tossed in olive oil and fresh oregano.

    absolutely lovely - used feta and also used spinach. took the other half to work and even when it got a bit bashed around it was yum. very smug compared to everyone else with their boring sarnies

    Delicious! There was only a small cavity for the filling in my squash after I'd removed the seeds, so I cut out some of the flesh along the full length of the squash prior to roasting it to make space. I chopped the removed squash into chunks to roast with the rest of the filling. I forgot to put the garlic on the squash, so in stead I mixed in rather more than the recipe called for (love garlic!) with the filling before roasting. 40 minutes roasted the squash to perfection - but I guess the removal of some of the flesh probably contributed to that.

    Very good flavours and looks impressive. Found the squash needed longer cooking time, about 1 hour, and there was far too much filling, but served the remainder on the side.

    Looked really impressive, my guests actually laughed at the grandiosity when I brought it out! Definitely add more cheese though, it was slightly lacking in flavour. Perhaps use feta and add more parmesan.

    Parmesan is NOT vegetarian. It contains rennet which is obtained from the stomachs of slaughtered calves. This is a common mistake on this web site which the BBC need to rectify.

    Very easy to do and impressive looking! Definitely filling, you really don't need anything other than some salad with it. I took out the chilli flakes as I'm not too keen on spicy things and it still had loads of flavour.

    Just loved this dish. I substituted the goats cheese for feta and added a few chopped black olives and a fresh chilli. For speed of cooking I peeled the squash first and then cut into chunks which also made it easier to serve. Delicious served with dressed green salad.

    Yep, it's a winner. I used a Crown Prince squash. I scooped out the inside of it once roasted and cooled, and mixed it a little with the other roasted vegetables. I cooked just for one, and the squash was roasted in 30mins. Very delicious, and I like the idea of criss-crossing it before seasoning.

    Absolutely fab! My boyfriend loved it despite hating lots of veg. Feta works just as well as goats cheese. Have made this recipe twice now, it is delicious and suprisingly filling, you won't have room for anything else after.

    Really lovely dish, I found I needed to cook the butternut squash for a little longer than suggested, but that might just have been my oven. .
