These Spaghetti Squash Pizza Boats are super fun to make! You can add any of your favorite pizza toppings you like! We made a pepperoni as well as a Margherita pizza.
It’s almost Fall… I pretty much consider all of September Fall. 🙂
That means it’s squash season! This is literally my favorite time of the year, because I love cooking with squash.
I know you can cook with it all year, but depending on where you live it’s not always easy to find at the grocery store.
I was craving pizza the other day, but didn’t have anything to make the crust with. I noticed I had 2 large Spaghetti Squash sitting on my counter, so I thought ‘hey why don’t I experiment with these!’
I made a simple sauce with Strained Tomatoes, fresh Basil, and Red Wine Vinegar. Then mixed it into the cooked Spaghetti Squash.
Topped one with Mozzarella and added fresh Basil after cooking which was soooo yummy! Topped the other with Mozzarella and Pepperoni which my boyfriend loved! He actually told me this was better than pizza!
I definitely recommend putting down parchment paper on your sheet pan before cooking these. It’ll save you so much time during cleanup!
If you wanted to mix things up, you can stuff or top these with any of your favorite pizza ingredients. Like Olives, Peppers, Onions, Anchovies, cooked Sausage, Mushrooms etc.
I mean the possibilities are endless!
