    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    This is loosely based on a recipe I made years ago and loved. But it contained pasta and more pasta. It became my go-to recipe when I had to make a meal for vegetarian friends. I realized early on that I could sub in cream cheese for the goat cheese and the flavor didn't change all too much since the other ingredients are very flavorful as well. Cream cheese is a lot more budget-friendly than goat cheese. Then I stopped adding the pasta altogether and simplified it down to five ingredients.

    Serving the squash as a side dish with Garlic Herb Butter Roast Chicken or Chicken Thighs with Mushroom Sauce is a much better option.

    Part of the reason I decided to post this recipe now is that I bought 5 pounds of frozen organic butternut squash from Costco and I didn't love it. The first time I made it I just put a little butter and salt on it and it was very bland. I love roasted fresh butternut squash but the frozen leaves much to be desired. And I still had four pounds of it to use. I was determined to find a way that I actually enjoyed the frozen squash.

      Would adding a fiber like ground flax seeds make the net carbs for the recipe lower?
      I also think that using butter and apple pie spices instead of cream cheese and rosemary would be great.

        Yes, you could add a fiber. A sweet version does sound good too!
