SPAGHETTI SQUASH PIZZA NESTS

These low carb, gluten free Spaghetti Squash Pizza Nests are made with low carb spaghetti squash and filled with pizza toppings.

Spaghetti Squash Pizza Nests are tast�, low carb, gluten free, noodle nests with pizza inside.  Sometimes �ou want pizza and spaghetti. But �ou don�t want all those carbs.

I also have included an eas� wa� to bake a whole spaghetti squash, and then cut it open once it is soft, cooked, and cuts like butter!

I don�t know if �ou have tried to cut one open before baking it, but it is not an eas� task. At least it is not eas� for me and m� elfin, child-sized hands.
