Is Spaghetti Squash Keto?

Yes, spaghetti squash is keto friendly! It has 7.8 grams net carbs per cup and is an excellent gluten-free, keto friendly pasta replacement. (Find more low carb pasta alternatives here.)

How To Cook Spaghetti Squash?

The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it on a baking sheet or in a baking dish, which you can do whole or cut in half for more caramelization. Get the full instructions for simple roasted spaghetti squash here. Then, use a fork to release the strands and use the spaghetti squash noodles in most recipes calling for cooked noodles!

If you don’t have a particular recipe, you can also simply serve cooked spaghetti squash noodles the way you would spaghetti. You can transfer them to a bowl first, or serve directly in the shell for spaghetti squash boats. Top it with your favorite sauce, such as marinara sauce or alfredo sauce, or simply mix with melted butter or olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sauteed garlic and parmesan cheese also make nice additions. Because spaghetti squash flesh tastes a little sweeter than traditional pasta, I find that it usually needs more salt.
