Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add in the garlic and sage and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour (creating a roux) and cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly.
Whisk in the chicken broth and half in half. Stir in the cubed cream cheese and Parmesan until smooth and melted. Add in the chicken and stir to coat.
Fluff some of the spaghetti squash noodles up, and spoon the Alfredo mixture into each half of the spaghetti squash.
Top with the veggies and a sprinkle of parmesan. Enjoy!

Notes

For the chicken, I cooked it in lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic powder.
I also seasoned the spaghetti squash with olive oil, salt and pepper before I cooked it!
Can sub flour with coconut flour or almond flour
