KETO SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH BACON AND BLUE CHEESE

Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese image

Turn plain old spaghetti squash into a keto meal with the addition of bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese. I like to double the blue cheese, especially when using a milder variety. Carbs in spaghetti squash can add up quickly, so use a small squash that's approximately 2 pounds.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 small spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 (4 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cut stem off the end of spaghetti squash using a sharp knife. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes. Scrape cooked flesh out into a bowl and set aside. Return spaghetti squash shells to the baking sheet.
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
Add mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add in the cooked bacon and spinach. Stir until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushroom mixture to the bowl of squash. Mix in sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until filling is evenly combined.
Spoon filling back into the squash shells. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon blue cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and squash is heated through, 4 to 5 minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb spaghetti
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup cream or 1/4 cup half-and-half
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 chopped arugula

Steps:

Put a large pot of water on the stove to bring to a boil for pasta.
Preheat medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crisp.
Salt water for pasta and add spaghetti to the pot. Cook to al dente, with a bite to it.
Remove bacon to paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon and drain off most of the fat, return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium. Add extra-virgin olive oil, and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter melts into extra-virgin olive oil, add in garlic and the shallots, saute for 3 minutes.
To the garlic and shallots, add in flour and cook a minute more. Whisk in stock, bring to a bubble, about 30 seconds then stir in the cream. When cream comes to a bubble, add in blue cheese and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until cheese melts. Reduce heat to lowest setting.
Drain pasta and toss with sauce to coat and combine evenly. Taste to adjust seasoning.
Scatter the arugula and bacon bits across the top of the pasta.

Tips:

Choose a high-quality blue cheese for the best flavor. A creamy, flavorful blue cheese like Gorgonzola or Roquefort will add a rich, nutty taste to the dish.
If you don't like the strong flavor of blue cheese, you can use a milder variety, such as Danish blue or Cambozola.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the dish. You can use pre-grated Parmesan, but freshly grated will give you the best flavor.
To make sure the pasta is cooked evenly, cook it in a large pot of boiling salted water. The pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should still have a slight bite to it.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
Freshly chopped parsley adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish. You can also use other herbs, such as basil or thyme.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese spaghetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of creamy blue cheese, nutty Parmesan, and flavorful bacon is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality dish in the comfort of your own home.
