Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Squash Recipes Healthy Winter Squash Recipes Healthy Spaghetti Squash Recipes Baked Feta & Tomato Spaghetti Squash 4.7 (21) 16 Reviews Inspired by the baked tomato and feta pasta trend, this easy baked spaghetti squash recipe is a showstopper on any table. Baking the feta and tomatoes in the squash half results in a lovely sauce when everything is mixed together. The balsamic glaze adds a nice bit of sweetness while playing up the acidity of the tomatoes. Dried oregano works as a substitute for fresh, but reduce the quantity by half. Serve alongside a side salad and crusty bread.
