Low Carb Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

This Low Carb Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash brings one of my family’s Italian favorites into the low carb world!

I love Italian food.

In the same way that Oprah loves bread.

But many of my Italian favorites have waaay too many carbs for the Low Carb/Keto Lifestyle. So I, like many of you, have been without for quite some time. The longer I live Keto, the longer I understand the truth that food doesn’t need to be boring.

Eating hasn’t been the same ever since I cut the carbs, but I’ve found it so important to remember that different isn’t bad or wrong, it’s just different. So today I’ve got a “different” recipe, that’s hugely delicious and reminiscent of one of my family’s FAVORITE Italian dishes…

Low Carb Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

This recipe is really easy to make. You just need spaghetti squash, Italian sausage, ricotta cheese, sauce, and Parmesean cheese.

Eating through it reminded my husband and I of our early days of dating in college when we used to eat out at the Italian restaurant downtown (that the tore down to build apartments–still bitter) at least once a week. Oh the good old days…

Anybody have a recipe for Keto-Friendly Garlic Bread? 😀
