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
ΒΌ 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes. Scrape cooked flesh out into a bowl and set aside. Return spaghetti squash shells to the baking sheet.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Add mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the cooked bacon and spinach. Stir until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushroom mixture to the bowl of squash. Mix in sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until filling is evenly combined.
  • Spoon filling back into the squash shells. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon blue cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and squash is heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.

This keto spaghetti squash dish was an absolute delight! The flavors of the bacon, blue cheese, and squash blended perfectly. I especially loved the crispy bacon bits, which added a nice textural contrast to the soft squash.
