Ingredients
  

1 medium spaghetti squash

1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (garlic & herb)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach, chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

      Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

        Roast the spaghetti squash in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

          While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes, sautéing until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are tender (about 3-4 minutes).

            Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and carefully scrape the flesh with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.

              In a large bowl, combine the spaghetti squash strands, sautéed spinach and tomatoes, and Boursin cheese. Mix well until the cheese is evenly distributed and melted.

                Spoon the mixture back into the squash halves. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

                  Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                    Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve warm.
