Spaghetti Squash with Arugula, Bacon, and Goat Cheese

Posted by Alana on

My keto friend was coming over for dinner, so I needed to come up with a dish that doesn’t have carbs. Even my husband, who lives on carbs, raved about how good this Spaghetti Squash with Arugula, Bacon and Goat Cheese was. It was very easy (roasting the squash was the longest part!), so I’ll definitely be adding it to the rotation.

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • 2 TBSP maple syrup
  • 5 oz arugula
  • 4 oz goat cheese

Pierce the spaghetti squash all over with a fork and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Rub the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes.
