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.

    Absolutely delilcious! I made this with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions along with feta cheese and the outcome was simply stunning! Will be trying it again as in the recipe; hopefully it will be even better!

    I made this for a dinner party last week and can honestly say it�s one of THE BEST show-stopping main courses EVER! Compliments and empty plates all around. It�s also dead-easy to alter for different tastes. For example, for the meat-loving men in our party I fried off some minced meat with a bit of balsamic and added it to their squash. Both men also didn�t like Feta (I agree with all other posts: Goat�s cheese would make the whole thing too sweet) so I topped theirs with the parmesan and breadcrumb mix.

    It was also easy to prepare most of the dish in advance: roasted the squash for about 1 hour and set aside. I also (like some suggested) cooked the veggies in a pan until they were almost tender and kept them in the fridge until evening. So once we'd had our starter I simply pre-heated the oven to 200C, filled the squash and reheated them for about 20min. The cheese was melted and the squash were nicely heated through. Served them with some linguine tossed in a bit of olive oil & fresh thyme sprigs - a masterpiece!

    I was suprised at just HOW enjoyable this dish was, and also at how filling it was. I had a very simple side portion of romane lettuce and a portion of garlic mayonaise on the side and it worked a treat. The only drawback is cutting butternut squash - which can be a bit nightmareish, although that's the nature of the vegetable. I also cooked the squash for slightly longer than suggested. A beautiful dinner.

    Really tasty meal and incredibly low fat. Tooke longer to cook than it said but is worth it. I added in a few cloves of garlic to the veg when it was roasting.

    made this for a second time on request from the meat-loving, butternut squash-hating boyfriend! like some others, i substituted goat's cheese with feta. i deliberated over the pine nuts for a while as they are incredibly expensive (nearly £3 for a little packet!). much as i love them, i don't think i'd bother with them next time as i think this dish would be just as delicious without, and a lot cheaper!

    This looked great but was rather tasteless despite adding lots of herbs and seasonings. The squash needed at least 45 mins to get really soft and lots of salt. I pan fried my veg and added some balsamic vinegar and this was the best bit, with the melted goats cheese on top. I didn't much care for the squash flesh, which was rather bland. It did taste super healthy though and was very filling so would try again on a diet, but try to up the seasonings even more.

    I have cooked this normally as a side dish and therefore just use one squash and halve the remaining ingredients. It is delicious and adds real colour to a dish. I would agree that you need to make sure the squash are well cooked to ensure tenderness so be generous with your timings. Yum!

    I gave the butternut sqash a good 15 minutes longer than the recipe stated and it was perfect. Also added mushrooms when I put the cherry tomatoes in the roasting dish - so tasty! Easy to prepare, and went down a storm with my veggie friend : )

    that was delicious. I couldn't find pine nuts so substituted with cashews which also worked well. definitely needed a longer cooking time for the squash. I'll be making this again soon
