Spaghetti Squash Pizza Nests are tasty, low carb, gluten-free, noodle nests with pizza inside. Sometimes you want pizza and spaghetti. But you don’t want all those carbs.

I also have included an easy way 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 you have tried to cut one open before baking it, but it is not an easy task. At least it is not easy for me and my elfin, child-sized hands.

Not to mention, I don’t exactly have the upper arm strength of Thor God of Thunder, and the hubby is not always around when I need brute strength.

I keep telling my hubby that I’m the brains and he is the brawn of this operation, but he thinks he should be the brains too.

So, I told him he could be the looks and the brawn, and he was quite happy with that, lol.
