How to make this Spaghetti Squash Casserole Keto
This spaghetti squash casserole is already keto! It’s full of cheese, pepperoni and olives mixed with the wonderful low-carb vegetable, spaghetti squash. Together with spices, pesto and sprinkled with fresh basil, it truly smells like pizza and eats like pizza in casserole form.
As a mom I’m always trying to add extra veggies into our meals but to be honest squash has generally not gone over well around here with my mini. But when I dress it up like pizza with pesto, cheese, olives, pepperoni and fresh basil it get’s eaten right up! I love this meal for a quick dinner and because it’s so simple to prep ahead of time and then pop in the oven to warm! All you need is 20 minutes of baking (30 minutes if you’ve made this ahead and it’s coming from a cold fridge) to warm the casserole through and dinner is ready! Those are my kind of meals!
