Spaghetti squash is one of those foods that I really didn’t eat a lot of before, but now that I follow a ketogenic lifestyle I really do like to enjoy it from time to time. You can use it in regular spaghetti and meatballs to replace the pasta and make a nice healthy meal. You won’t even miss the spaghetti noodles. There are so many foods like this that you can use to replace high carb foods that you love.
Cauliflower is another veggie I use quite frequently to replace things such as potatoes, rice, bread. etc. It works great and most of the time tastes the same or even better then the high carb alternative if you prepare it correctly. The trick is to use some rich tasting foods such as cream, cheese, things like that which give you the added fa but not the carbs!

Which way should the squash be facing when you microwave it? Open side down or up?
Face down! I put about an inch of water in the bottom, cover with cling wrap, face down, 10 mins in micro. You can bake in oven the same way without the cling or water. Sorry, I answered for her. It’s my favorite squash
This is one of the best recipes I have tried.
I don’t see the carb count. Need all the nutrition info since some of us are extremely low carb under 20g. Thanks
Made this – soooo good. Cooked squash 2 days ago, then reheated in microwave, added all together & baked. Easy. My husband ate it & he hates sour cream.
You could place all ingrediants back into the empty squash shell and bake and serve from the shell voila no dirty dish to clean after
That looks so good!
