Ingredients & replacement

Here is what you need for these spaghetti pumpkin boats.

First choose a solid yellow spaghetti pumpkin. It shouldn’t have a discoloration or bruises. Fortunately, Spaghetti Squash is available in grocery stores all year round!

Coating the inside with olive oil. We also love avocado oil and coconut oil.

Season the pumpkin with sea salt and pepper.

Use your favorite minced meat. We love ground turkey, chicken, beef and pork. You could also use some crushed chicken or Pork pulled.

Marinara sauce gives a taste. Choose a brand without additional sugar or seed oils.

Finally with a crushed cheese. Feel free to use your favorite species. We like Mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese!

Taste & texture

Spaghetti pumpkin boats have a unique texture that imitates Spaghetti, but with a slightly milder taste and a delicate texture.

In combination with hearty beef meat and sticky melted cheese, you will receive a dish that is rich, satisfactory and full of feelings of comfort food – without feeling excessively difficult.

The edges of the pumpkin caramelize lightly during the roast and give every bite depth.

How to make spaghetti pumpkin boats

Step 1

First get your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the spaghetti pumpkin in half. Shovel the seeds and reject them.

Step 2

Coat the inside of the pumpkin with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Place your face down on a baking pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until they are chopped slightly.

Step 3

In the meantime, put the beef meat into a pan over medium heat. Cook to brown and crumbly. Drain excess fat.

Step 4

Make the heat very low. Add the Marinara sauce. Let it simmer until the pumpkin is roasted.

Step 5

As soon as the pumpkin can be chopped slightly, take out of the oven. Shred with two forks and hold the strands in the pumpkin.

Step 6

Add the meat sauce to the pumpkin halves. Top with cheese.

Step 7

Bake for another 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Step 8

Finally be your spaghetti pumpkin boats!

Experts tips for success

Spaghetti pumpkin can be difficult to cut raw. Use a robust, sharp cooking knife and slowly cut. If necessary, the entire pumpkin for 2-3 minutes of microwave to soften it.

Remove all the seeds and threads before roasting for the best texture. You can use a spoon or a melonball player for simple creation.

Keep the baking time in the eye – overcooked pumpkin can be mushy. They want delicate, but still slightly solid strands.

After browning, let the meat drop out excess fat to avoid an aqueous or greasy filling.

After assembly, bake the boats until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling. A short roast at the end can give you the golden, crispy top.
