Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Squash Boats with Salami, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Spinach

These cheesy baked spaghetti squash boats offer a satisfying, low-carb alternative to traditional pasta dishes. By roasting the squash until tender and mixing the strands with a velvety roasted garlic and cream cheese sauce, you create a meal that is both comforting and nutritious. The addition of salty salami, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh baby spinach provides a wonderful depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with the melted mozzarella topping.

This diabetes-friendly recipe is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-fibre, vegetable-focused dinner that doesn't compromise on taste. It is simple enough for a midweek family meal, yet impressive enough to serve to guests. You can even prepare the squash boats a day in advance and keep them in the fridge, making your evening cooking completely stress-free.

Ingredients for Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Squash Boats with Salami, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Spinach

  • 2 small or 1 large spaghetti squash (3–1.6kg), halved lengthwise, seeded

  • Sale kosher

  • 1 head garlic

  • 1 cucchiaio di olio d'oliva

  • 230g cream cheese

  • 240ml di latte intero

  • Pepe nero macinato fresco

  • 170g salami, preferably Soppressata, sliced into 1/4-inch strips

  • 140g baby spinach (about 4 packed cups)

  • 120ml marinated sun-dried tomatoes (about 60g ), coarsely chopped

  • 40g finely grated Parmesan (about 15g )

  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 230g shredded mozzarella (about 170g ), divided

Preriscalda il forno a 191°C. Rivesti una teglia con bordi con carta da forno.

Sprinkle each half of squash with 1/4 teaspoons salt, then place facedown on prepared sheet. Trim 1/4" from top of garlic head to expose cloves. Place head on a sheet of foil, drizzle oil over, then wrap tightly to enclose. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until interior of squash is fork-tender and garlic is very soft, 30–50 minutes, depending on size of squash. Let cool slightly.

Carefully unwrap garlic. Let cool slightly, then squeeze pulp out onto a cutting board. Finely chop.

Heat cream cheese, milk, and chopped garlic in a medium saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Using a fork, scrape squash crosswise to pull strands from shells into a large bowl; reserve shells. Toss squash with cream cheese mixture, salami, spinach, tomatoes, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, if using, and 240ml mozzarella until combined. Stuff squash mixture back into shells and top with remaining 120ml mozzarella.

Transfer shells to oven and bake until squash mixture is bubbling and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.

Squash boats can be assembled (but not baked) 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill.
