Ingredients
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
- 1 lbs Ground Turkey or Ground Beef
- 1 Green Pepper
- 15 Baby Carrots
- 1 Broccoli crown
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
Baking the Spaghetti Squash
- Preheat Oven to 400°
- Cut Spaghetti Squash in half(the long way) and scoop out the seeds
- Rub Olive Oil and Salt and Pepper to taste on the inside parts of the Spaghetti Squash
- Turn the squash over and poke holes in the skin with a fork
- Place the squash face-down on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Note, larger a Spaghetti Squash may require more cooking time
Making the Bolognese
- Brown Ground Turkey or Beef on the stove in a non-stick pan. Feel free to add in any seasoning that you may like. Recommended: Garlic and Onion powder
- While the meat is cooking, cut up your vegetables of choice. We use Baby Carrots (sliced in 4ths), Green Pepper, and Broccoli
- Sauté the veggies in a separate frying pan with a little olive oil for about 10-15 minutes
- Drain any liquid from the meat pan and add the sauce veggies to the meat pan
- Add in your favorite sauce and let simmer
Making the "Pasta" out of Spaghetti Squash
- Remove the Spaghetti Squash from the oven after 35- 40 minutes. You should be able to easily scrape the the squash apart with a fork. If not, put back in the oven for another 5 minutes or so until fully cooked
- As you scrape apart the "spaghetti" with a fork, place it in a separate bowl
- Combine all ingredients from the Bolognese with the Spaghetti Squash
- Sprinkle on some Parmesan Cheese if you wish and enjoy!
