Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.

2. Step 2

   This will make cleanup a breeze later on! Next, grab a sharp knife and carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.

3. Step 3

   Take a moment to scoop out the seeds, creating a nice hollow space for your delicious filling.

4. Step 4

   Brush the insides of each half with a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

5. Step 5

   Place the squash halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and let them roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily scraped with a fork.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re done, gently scrape the flesh into a bowl and set it aside, returning the empty squash shells to the baking sheet.

7. Step 7

   Keep that oven warm; we’re not done yet! In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add your bacon pieces and cook them until they’re crispy and golden brown, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re perfectly cooked, remove the bacon and let it drain on some paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

9. Step 9

   In the same skillet, toss in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing them for about 4 to 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.

10. Step 10

    Now, it’s time to add the baby spinach and the crispy bacon back into the mix.

11. Step 11

    Stir everything together until the spinach wilts down, which should take just 2 to 3 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Remove the skillet from the heat and combine this savory mixture with the reserved spaghetti squash flesh.

13. Step 13

    Stir in some creamy sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring everything is well blended and bursting with flavor.

14. Step 14

    Now comes the fun part! Spoon the delicious filling back into the spaghetti squash shells, making sure each half is generously packed.

15. Step 15

    For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese on top of each filled squash.

16. Step 16

    Pop the stuffed squash back into the oven for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and the squash is warmed through.

17. Step 17

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once done, take a moment to admire your creation before serving.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish that’s sure to impress family and friends!.
