Low Carb Baked Spaghetti Squash With Garlic Sage Cream
By: ~Leslie~
Sep 7, 2004
A few simple ingredients transform this mild tasting vegetable into a memorable side dish. My whole family loves this, even kids and at only 2 grams of carbs per serving it is a great dish to beat back the pasta craving! It tastes alot like spaghetti alfredo. I usually serve this with grilled chicken. My girlfriend passed this recipe on to me, I have no idea where it came from. If you are watching carbs it has a net carb count of only 2 grams per serving. For those doing Atkins, use the heavy cream, for those on SBD use milk and add a wee bit of thickener if needed. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Thank you Thank you Thank you. This recipe was great. I served it alonside a pork tenderloin that I grilled and it was awesome. The only addition I made was extra garlic and some shredded mozzerella into the heavy cream to make a cheese sauce. It was so delicious!

Great recipe. I baked 4 cloves of garlic sprinkled with olive oil and wrapped in aluminum foil for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I then prepared the recipe as indicated. the extra garlic was great. This was a great accompaniment for lamb shanks.

Great stuff. Made this with fat free half and half and fresh sage. It's delicious and we'll have it again soon. Really liked the squash/sage combination. I put in WAY too much garlic and loved it. This IS a great pasta and cream sauce substitute. Really hits the spot.

This was delicious and easy. DH said it was the best spaghetti squash he ever ate! Cooked the squash in the microwave due to time constraints. (I pierced it and cooked 2 min. on hight. Then I cut it in half lengthwise and placed each half cut side down in about 1/2 cup water. Then popped both in the microwave for about 18 minutes. They were cooked perfect.) After forking out the squash I mixed in the cream and garlic, added salt & pepper & cheese. I omitted the sage just because I was out of it. This had a delightful nutty flavor about it. This will be our preferred method for making spaghetti squash from now on!! Thanks!
