Last night I was craving some Alfredo sauce, but what is Alfredo sauce without the pasta. I decided to create my own version of the tasty pasta dish replacing the pasta for spaghetti squash.
Here is what you'll need
1 medium spaghetti squash
1 LB of ground meat
1 jar of store bought Alfredo sauce (I use Bertolli's 2 carbs per serving)
1/2 C of chopped white one
Salt/Pepper
Olive Oil
Italian Seasoning
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese (I bought bagged from Walmart)
Water
Ricotta Cheese (Optional)
Glass baking dish
Squash
- Preheat over to 350 Degrees
- Split squash in half and scoop out seeds and discard
- Salt and pepper cut half of squash, drizzle with olive oil, and place cut side down on cookie sheet
- Bake for 30 minutes until for tender
Sauce
- Cook ground beef and drain
- Sweat onions in ground beef
- Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste
- Add 1/2 jar of Alfredo sauce
- Stir in 1 cup of water
- Add 1/4 Parmesan cheese to sauce.
Casserole
- Use a fork to remove cooked and cool squash from the rind
- Layer the bottom of baking dish with squash
- Add a layer of Alfredo beef sauce
- A layer of sharp cheddar cheese
- Repeat
- Top of with a little Parmesan cheese
- Back at 375 Degrees for an additional 20 minutes
- Allow to cool a bit for easier serving. I topped mine with Ricotta and Enjoy!!!
