Ingredients
  

Cheese Sauce

  • 3 cups frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 4 oz. goat cheese (soft)
  • 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Casserole

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 2 egg
  • 1 egg whites
  • 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp ghee
  • 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 oz parmesan cheese, shredded optional
  • Himalayan sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375. Spray a casserole pan with oil and set aside.
  • Microwave spaghetti squash until soft (about 7 min). Poke holes in it so it doesn’t explode! Once soft, cut in half, remove the seeds in the center, and shred strands. Set aside.
  • Add EVOO and ghee to a medium-large skillet on medium heat and saute mushrooms until cooked. Add a dash of Himalayan sea salt, mix, and set aside.
  • Make cheese sauce by microwaving cauliflower rice in a microwave for approx 4.5 to 5 min or until soft (drain excess water if necessary). Place cauliflower rice and remaining ingredients in a medium sauce pan over low-medium heat until cheese has melted. Stir. Use an immersion blender or blender to blend sauce until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. Taste to make sure you're happy with the amount of salt and pepper added.
  • Crack egg and egg whites into a small bowl and whisk.
  • Add spaghetti squash, mushrooms, and cheese sauce together in a large bowl and mix. Add eggs and mix. Pour into a casserole dish. Top with shredded parmesan cheese, if desired.
  • Bake casserole for 1 hour, or until brown on the top and egg is cooked through.
