LOW CARB BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH GARLIC SAGE CREAM



Low Carb Baked Spaghetti Squash With Garlic Sage Cream image

A few simple ingredients transform this mild tasting vegetable into a memorable side dish. My whole family loves this, even kids and at only 2 grams of carbs per serving it is a great dish to beat back the pasta craving! It tastes alot like spaghetti alfredo. I usually serve this with grilled chicken. My girlfriend passed this recipe on to me, I have no idea where it came from. If you are watching carbs it has a net carb count of only 2 grams per serving. For those doing Atkins, use the heavy cream, for those on SBD use milk and add a wee bit of thickener if needed. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or more!)
1 tablespoon fresh grated parmesan cheese, not that sawdust in a green can
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • The squash can be baked, microwaved or boiled. I choose to microwave. Place squash cut side down in a pan just large enough to hold an 1/4 cup water and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave on high for 14-15 minutes.
  • When skin pierces easily with fork, drain and cool. Scoop out and discard the seeds.
  • With a fork, transfer the spaghetti-like strands from the shell to a casserole dish.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Taste to adjust seasoning.
