Why This Recipe Is So Popular

A wonderful way to enjoy a light and healthy meal without sacrificing flavor. The natural sweetness of the roasted squash pairs beautifully with the tender asparagus and creamy goat cheese. It’s both comforting and fresh, making it perfect for any season.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Roast the squash cut-side down to help it cook evenly and caramelize nicely.
- Trim the asparagus ends before roasting to ensure they cook quickly and stay tender.
- Add the goat cheese just before serving to keep its creamy texture and bright flavor.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with foil. Give the spaghetti squash a quick spray with cooking spray, then season it with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side down on the baking sheet and pop it in the oven. Let it roast for about 35 minutes, until it’s tender. Once it’s done, let it cool for about 10 minutes so it’s easier to handle.

Step 2

While the squash cools, warm some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion and cook until it just starts to turn translucent, around 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and keep sautéing until the onion is nice and soft, which should take another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for just about a minute until it smells amazing, then transfer the veggies to a plate.

Step 3

Now, scoop out the spaghetti squash strands with a fork and add them to the skillet. Give them a quick sauté for a couple of minutes to warm through. Pour in the vegetable broth and let it simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Return the onion and asparagus mixture to the pan, throw in the goat cheese, and stir until the cheese melts into the squash. Finish by adding the basil and thyme, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Options

Serve this alongside a crisp green salad or with a slice of crusty bread to round out the meal. It also works well as a side dish to grilled chicken or fish for a balanced dinner.

Leftover Storage Guide

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the squash from becoming mushy. Add fresh goat cheese after warming for the best taste.
