How to cook deliciously - Low-Carb Spaghetti Squash Alfredo

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roast in the preheated oven until squash shreds easily with a fork, about 30 minutes.

Start the sauce after the squash and garlic have been roasting for 20 minutes. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour in cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, whisking quickly until smooth. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
