These spaghetti squash boats only have 7g net carbs in each serving and are super-fun to eat! You’ll love the feta cheese and bacon combo too.

Easy Spaghetti Squash Boats

Have you ever made a spaghetti squash boat? They are a lot like my popular zucchini boats but are made with delicious spaghetti squash. Basically, everything is baked right in the spaghetti squash.

When they are fully cooked, you have an entire meal in its own edible dish! 

Since this meal is so different and fun to eat, it’s one of my favorite kid-friendly recipe ideas too. My kids love digging into it. It’s super cheesy, and my kids love all things cheese. 

Is Spaghetti Squash Keto 

Yes, spaghetti squash is a keto-friendly squash. In fact, it is one of my favorite pasta alternatives. There are 7 net carbs in one cup of cooked spaghetti squash.

That is a bit on the higher side, I suggest eating a small amount of spaghetti squash mixed in with other low-carb ingredients (like meat and cheese and spices). 

In my recipe, one spaghetti squash makes 5 servings, which is how I was able to keep this at 7g net carbs per serving. 

Spaghetti Squash Feta Cheese Recipe

I used a combination of heavy whipping cream, parmesan cheese, and feta cheese in these spaghetti squash boats. That’s what gives them the super-rich flavor and the creamy sauce.

To make the boats, you’ll want to bake the squash and let it cool before you put the filling ingredients into it. Then, shred and remove the spaghetti strings.

Next, make your creamy filling sauce. Toss the spaghetti squash strings in the creamy sauce and then place all of this back into the spaghetti squash hulls.

This process is a lot like twice-baked potatoes. You make the squash, remove it, mix it with the sauce, and then put it back in the squash hulls and bake it again so that it gets nice and hot! 

Don’t forget to garnish with bacon, pine nuts, and feta cheese. This gives it the most amazing texture as you bite into it.

I love using this recipe in my meal prep. When you store it for later, I suggest removing the filling from the hulls and putting it in your food storage containers.

The spaghetti squash mixture will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat it on the stove top in a skillet to make it crispier. If you reheat it in the microwave, the spaghetti squash will soften. 

Spinach and Feta Idea

This is an entire meal in one dish. You don’t need to add very much to it. I suggest adding some keto garlic knots to the table. That way you can dip them into the creamy spinach and feta sauce. It’s so delicious!

Then, you can just serve this with your favorite chopped salad and dinner is ready!
