4.05 30 Published Oct 16, 2017, Updated Jun 18, 2023 Anyhow, given the popularity of my spaghetti squash lasagna boats from last year I thought it would be fun to do a similar spaghetti squash boat recipe with tuna casserole. I’m so glad I had the idea, because this combo is so comforting and delicious. Maria and I both loved the recipe while testing it and Isaac was impressed when I served it up for dinner one night as well. You can’t go wrong with creamy, noddle goodness… even if the noodles are a veggie! I’m diggin’ this recipe for a bunch of different reasons. 1.) The casserole is served out of a spaghetti squash bowl, which is super fun and meals less dishes. LOVE! 2.) It’s super healthy — loaded with good for you ingredients, protein and healthy fats. 3.) The creamy mushroom sauce is completely dairy-free… made with coconut milk!! While making the sauce, Maria and I couldn’t help but realize that it’d make a great soup on it’s own so we’ll likely be experimenting with a full blown mushroom soup recipe soon. For the tuna we used two cans of Genova’s easy open albacore tuna packed in olive oil. Genova’s tuna tastes great, plus it’s wild-caught, non-gmo and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified, which means the fish are responsibly caught by a certified sustainable fishery. Learn more about their new cans with the blue label and the MSC certification here. For the topping we used gluten-free sprouted seed crackers, but you could also use almond flour crackers or another cracker you love. Store bought or homemade crackers will work. You certainly don’t need the crackers, but they add a nice crunch and a bit of texture to an otherwise soft and creamy dish.
My Favorite Way to Cook Spaghetti Squash
If you’re not making spaghetti squash boats, my favorite method of cooking spaghetti squash involves slicing it into rings and roasting it. It results in long spaghetti-like noodles and squash that isn’t watery! Check out my how guide for how to cook spaghetti squash.
