Found this recipe and thought it looked delish....

I won't be using butter, will use olive oil instead and no Parmesan cheese at all....

Low carb cajun chicken pasta

Ingredients:

3/4 lb spaghetti squash cooked
2 T Butter
4 Skinless/boneless chicken breasts, sliced 1/2" thick
4 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Bunch green onions, chopped
3 T Cajun seasoning blend
1 t Freshly ground black pepper
1 t Ground cayenne pepper
16 ozs Heavy cream
1 Green pepper, julienned
1 Red pepper, julienned
8 ozs Fresh mushrooms, quartered
2 C Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add chicken, cook stirring frequently until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add garlic, onions, Cajun seasoning blend, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper.
Add red and green peppers and the mushrooms. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Uncover and add heavy cream, cook until hot but not boiling.
Stir in parmesan cheese until sauce is thick and creamy.
Serve over cooked low carb pasta or spaghetti squash.
