How To Make Boursin Cheese Spaghetti Squash Pasta
For this recipe you will need a spaghetti squash, a brick of boursin cheese (choose your favorite flavor), fresh tomatoes, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Additional ingredients like fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or parmesan cheese can be added if desired.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half. If the squash is too difficult to cut, you can poke it with a fork and microwave it for 5 minutes to soften it. Once cut in half, remove the seeds and strings.
Place the squash cut side up on a baking sheet. Oil the squash with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Place half a brick of boursin cheese in the middle of each squash. Add in a half a cup of tomatoes and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Let the squash cool for 5-10 minutes. Then, use a fork to shred the spaghetti squash and mix the squash with the cheese and tomatoes.
Serve and enjoy!
