Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Brush the inside of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until squash is easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper. Cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and basil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove spaghetti squash from oven, cool slightly, and shred the cooked squash into spaghetti-like strands. Place strands in a bowl. Add bell pepper mixture, goat cheese, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined. Spoon mixture back into the squash halves. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and butter cubes.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and bread crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes.
