How to Make Low Carb Baked Spaghetti Squash With Garlic Sage Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prick spaghetti squash several times with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Allow squash to cool slightly. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and stringy pulp.
  4. Using a fork, gently pull apart the squash strands into noodle-like pieces.
  5. Transfer the squash strands to a warm serving bowl.
  6. While the squash is baking, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for SBD, adding 1-2 tsp cornstarch for thickening if needed), 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped.
  7. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  8. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  9. Pour the garlic sage cream sauce over the spaghetti squash. Gently toss to combine.
  10. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup).
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
