What is Feta Spaghetti Squash?
Feta Spaghetti Squash is a dish that was inspired by my viral tiktok pasta recipe.
It combines roasted spaghetti squash with a savory and creamy sauce made from baked feta cheese, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
It's a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional pasta dishes that's both delicious and healthy. The spaghetti squash strands are a perfect vehicle for the rich and tangy feta cheese sauce, making this a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Ingredients and Substitution
- Spaghetti Squash - this is the main star of the dish but if you'd rather have regular pasta, you can try my original baked feta pasta recipe that took over the internet.
- Feta - this is the cheese that's best but you could also use goat cheese or Boursin.
- Garlic - Fresh garlic is best but you could use shallots if you had those.
- Cherry Tomatoes - grape tomatoes also work. regular beef steak tomatoes are a little watery but can work if that's all you have.
- Basil - fresh basil is my fav but you could use rosemary, oregano or thyme.
- Balsamic glaze - you can make your own but i like to use the storebought one. It adds a little bit of sweetness to balance out the salty feta and not so great winter tomatoes.
- Olive oil - avocado oil also works.
- Kosher salt - Kosher is best for cooking but you could use another kind if you prefer.
How to make Feta Spaghetti Squash
Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Then evenly top each half with garlic, tomatoes, olive oil and another pinch of salt.

️Best if enjoyed right away!
