Description

A low-carb, keto-friendly bake with creamy Alfredo sauce and roasted spaghetti squash.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Black Pepper, optional
  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil.

  3. Scoop out the seeds and scrape away stringy flesh.
  4. Brush the inside with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place cut side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the insides shred easily with a fork.
  6. Let squash cool for 15 minutes, then scrape the flesh into a bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • Use fresh parmesan for best flavor.
  • Adjust nutmeg to taste.
