Low Carb Spaghetti Pie

Low Carb Spaghetti Pie is a vegetarian meal made from spaghetti squash, marinara sauce, and three types of cheese. Such a healthy Italian meal.

Great paired with a garden salad and some Keto Italian Breadsticks. This spaghetti squash main dish is so cheesy and good.

I love a good pasta dish, but to tell you the truth, I don’t miss the pasta at all in this Low Carb Spaghetti Pie. The spaghetti squash actually gives it more flavor. Plus so much good nutrition.

This meal is gluten-free and even works for the keto diet.

Recipe Tips:

• Be careful cutting the spaghetti squash. They are a devil to cut through. A lot of recipes have you cut the spaghetti squash in half lenghtwise, but I like to cut it into rings and then bake it. You end up with longer strands of spaghetti squash when you cut it into rings which makes it much more like spaghetti.
• The spaghetti squash can be cooked a day in advance.

The spaghetti squash gets mixed with ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, seasonings, and some mozzarella cheese. This mixture gets baked in a deep dish pie pan for 30 minutes after which marinara sauce is spread on top along with a finishing layer of mozzarella cheese. The pie gets baked for 15 minutes to melt the cheese. After a little time to cool, it is ready to be cut into slices.
