Did you know that Keto Spaghetti Squash is a wonderful vegetable available for you to use in so many different ways??

Do you miss pasta on keto??

Do you miss having spaghetti??? This will do it!

Do you love shrimp alfredo???? Yep, this will do that too!!!

I tried one for the first time just last year. I had no idea how wonderful they are! They are absolutely a great substitute for pasta, and so easy to fix. The possibilities seem endless for their use.

It was like a miracle veggie just dropped right into our lap…

Let’s take a look at how easy this is to make.

You can normally pick up a spaghetti squash at you local grocery, or even your local farmers market which is what I prefer.

Just cut it in half….

And, scoop all the seeds and “stuff” out, just like a cantaloupe.

Once you have it good and clean, just rub the cut surface with some olive oil. You can sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper if you prefer. Now, just lay it face down on a foil covered cooking pan.

Bake it at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Then remove from the oven.

Take a fork and start “scraping” the inner-most area. It will come out in strands that resembles pasta.

Continue to do this until the entire square is done.

*** NOTE*** If it does not want to shred easily, bake it for another 5-10 minutes and try again. It normally will do as it should baking at 30 minutes, but larger ones may take more time, and of course ovens will vary.

Your possibilities for using your Keto Spaghetti Squash are as big as your use for pasta use to be.

*** Note*** just remember to add to your carb count when you add other ingredients to this.

Enjoy!!
