Squash Spaghetti


Ingredients:
  • 1lb ground beef
  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 cups chopped spinach
  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 1 jar of organic pasta sauce
  • 3 large cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 2 tsp pepper



Instructions:

  1. Scrub the squash well. Though you'll only be eating the flesh, you don't want any grime making its way into your dish.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Split the squash and remove the seeds and 'guts' with a spoon. Place it in a baking dish and leave it in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. Check for tenderness.
  3. While the squash is cooking, start frying up the ground beef on the stove top in a large skillet or frying pan. Cook until all pink is gone and then add onions, garlic, olive oil, and pepper. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Then add spinach and cook for another 5 minutes or so. Add pasta sauce and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or so. The longer it cooks, the better it will taste.

  4. When the squash is done baking remove from the oven and scrape the flesh of the squash with a fork; you should get orange spaghetti-like strands. Then scrape strands with a spoon into a bowl. Serve the meat sauce over spaghetti squash and enjoy!
