I’ll be honest; I am not a big fan of spaghetti. Pasta has never been my thing.
I have, however, been trying to find ways to make recipes similar to the ones my kids have always loved, so I knew I would have to figure out a low-carb keto baked spaghetti recipe that they would love.
Before I made this, my kids had never eaten spaghetti squash, and I think I had only eaten it once before.
We were unsure what to expect, but we were all very impressed (yes, even me, the anti-spaghetti mom).
You could probably cut the sugar on this by making pasta sauce, but I don’t have time for that.
We have been so busy lately that I had to settle for Wild Oats Organic Tomato and Basil pasta sauce (that variety has the fewest carbs, so be sure to look for that one).
This is a great way to trick kids and dads into eating veggies when they honestly believe they hate them.
My husband grew up thinking the only veggies were corn and potatoes, so he takes some serious convincing.
Fortunately for me, a co-worker told him the day before I made this how awesome spaghetti squash is, so he wanted to try it.
