Low Carb Spaghetti Squash Casserole is yet another way to use spaghetti squash. As far as I am concerned you can just about put the kitchen sink into this dish. These are not in the recipe but a cup or two of Caramelized Zucchini would be a terrific addition as well as a cup or two of sautéed caramelized eggplant. Both are great low carb healthy extenders.

Notes
- Easily substitute kalamata olives for the black ones and this is actually what I do. I put black olives in the recipe because they are more readily available but pitted kalamatas, in my opinion, are much better.
- As I said above I think a cup or two of sautéed zucchini and/or sautéed eggplant would also be a terrific addition.
