Spaghetti Squash Makes Perfect "Lasagna Boats" Spaghetti squash is the perfect healthy, low-carb alternative to pasta. For these spaghetti boats, I cut small spaghetti squash in half, season and roast them, and then stuff them with lasagna and bake until cheeses melt. Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating strands with a fork; set shells and squash aside.
