How to make stuffed butternut squash

Our vegetarian butternut squash recipe is really easy to make and perfect for Easter Sunday. Add any flavours you like to the stuffing, breadcrumbs would add a nice crunch, goats cheese would give a salty tang or any fresh herbs would really make for a flavour sensation.

Ingredients Method

What you'll need

1 large Butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt & pepper to season
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Filling choices:

250g baby spinach leaves,
1 small red onion - diced finely
2 Tablespoons pine nuts
100g feta cheese

1 large courgette (125g) - cut into thin rounds
1/2 red pepper - diced finely
50g sun-dried tomato
100g feta cheese

Method

Heat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Remove the tops from the butternut squash and slice them in half lengthways. Scoop out the seeds.
Brush the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and cook for 30 - 40 minutes, or until flesh is tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Mix the filling ingredients together and add seasoning to taste. Stir-fry ingredients (except feta) in a pan until cooked to satisfaction. Divide the mixture into two. Remove the cooked squash from the oven and fill each half with the stuffing mix and cubed feta cheese.
Carefully return to the oven for a further 10 minutes to warm through and allow the feta to soften.
Remove and garnish chopped fresh parsley to serve.
