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.

    I slightly changed this recipe to suit as I was serving as side dish, instead of rpast potatoes I wanted to make the equivalent butternut squash style! I took one butternut squash, sliced in half, removed the seeds and string from inside. mixed 3tbsp olive oil 2 cloves chopped garlic and belive it or not 'nandos' chip topper as i had no chilli flakes 2 x tbsp tyme Stir up togther Pour in an oven proof dish to pre heat the coating, after 10 mins I removed then added cubes of butternut squash, give it a quick stir to ensure all cubes of butternut squash coated. Roast for around 30/40 mins depending on how soft you would like it to be (180 degrees) I served one half of the mixture as a side dish along with baked ham And the other half of the mixture I added to a pasta dish with the folowing cheese sauce mixture, deicious!!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/anykindofcheesesauce_70007

    This was delicious! Even my South African, meat loving hubby, ate the lot and finished off mine! But I needed to cook the butternut squash for about 10 minutes longer, as I couldn't find small ones. It was really easy to follow the recipe, and the ingredients were nice and easy to find - I used dried parsley and dried thyme instead of fresh, and it worked fine. Total winner - will definitely do this again!

    I left out the chilli (for my wife) and added more breadcrumb mixture to form a real crust. My wife and son both said it was delicious.

    Very nice. The squash was small but took quite a bit longer to cook than the recipe stated, the veg took less time than stated. All in all a good, filling meal.

    Absolutely brilliant, even my vegetarian hating husband enjoyed it, lots of taste and flavour, the squash needs cooking for longer initially. Definitely will make again

    We loved this recipe. My butternut squash was too large so I peeled and diced it and roasted the flesh. I made up the recipe in a casserole dish and it got rave reviews.

    Excellent! Really filling without leaving you feeling bloated. I've probably made about 30 dishes from this site and this has been the best so far. Served it with a handful of rocket leaves drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The only change I made to this recipe was substituting the pine nuts with toasted flaked almonds as my local supermarket was charging a shocking £4.50 for pine nuts, eek! The almonds worked perfectly and gave it a bit of crunch. Just added them towards the end as they didn't need toasting. Also, when I made this for 2 I used one whole medium courgette. I would use 2 for 4 people, taking into account shrinkage. All in all, loved it!

    Just wanted to add that whilst roasting the squash I ended up with a pool of juice in the seed cavity. I spooned the juice back over the rest if the squash and continued cooking it, worked out fine.

    This is really nice. You need to cook squash for longer than suggested You end up with more stuffing than needed but who cares? Yummy. Spritzed the roasting vegetables with balsamic. Really tasty.

    Great dish! Very tasty and the goats cheese really made it. I did have to cook the butternut squash for longer than suggested - but it may depend on how big it is! Because of time I also did the filling on the hob - still worked well I thought. Next time I'll try roasting it all!

    Wow! I made this tonight for dinner. It was delicous! I didn't have parmasan so used strong cheddar and no Thyme so used Oregano. It was good to read the other comments as I did need to cook it for longer. Will cook this one again.

    This was good but not as amazing as I thought it would be. The butternut took over an hour to cook but I was expecting that having read the previous comments. It needed a lot of seasoning and once you had eaten through some of it, it became bland as obviously seasoning couldn't get deep within the butternut! I think my mistake was that I served it as a side dish with lots of other items on the table so one squash per person was far too much. Worked well as a leftover in my work lunch box though!

    This was delicious! I used feta also, but I did so in the knowledge that it is goat's cheese...
