KETO SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH BACON AND BLUE CHEESE



Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese image

Turn plain old spaghetti squash into a keto meal with the addition of bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese. I like to double the blue cheese, especially when using a milder variety. Carbs in spaghetti squash can add up quickly, so use a small squash that's approximately 2 pounds.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (4 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut stem off the end of spaghetti squash using a sharp knife. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • To easily cut spaghetti squash, place it on a stable surface and use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard.
  • If you don't have spaghetti squash noodles, you can use other types of noodles, such as zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles.
  • For a crispy spaghetti squash, roast it in the oven until the edges are slightly browned and the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • To make the bacon, cook it in a single layer in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • For a creamy mushroom sauce, sauté mushrooms in butter or olive oil until they are soft and browned. Add cream, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings, and simmer until thickened.
  • To assemble the spaghetti squash bowls, simply fill each squash half with spaghetti squash noodles, mushroom sauce, and bacon. Top with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
