The Keto Dad Tips and Tricks:

  • Bake the spaghetti squash in the oven, microwave or cook in a pressure cooker

  • If the squash is too hard to cut, pierce in a few places and microwave for a 2-3 minutes.

  • Freezes and reheats easily!

  • The majority of carbs are from the Spaghetti Squash and ricotta cheese. With the higher protein and carb count, it may fit better into a flexible lifestyle.
