Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds - ground beef, chicken or turkey
- 2 containers - 26 oz. crushed tomatoes
- 1 cups - mushrooms chopped
- 1 - green pepper diced
- 1 - red pepper diced
- 1 - sweet onion diced
- 1 - zucchini diced
- 1 - spaghetti squash
- 4 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds with a large spoon. Place squash cut side down in a baking dish with 1/4 cup of water. Roast in oven for 30-40 minutes or until just tender.
Meanwhile, heat the ground beef in a large skillet and cook until browned. At the same time, add the tomatoes, all the veggies and herbs (plus salt / pepper to taste) to a large stock pot. Simmer on medium heat until the veggies are cooked through and tender.
Add the cooked ground beef to the stock pot and mix well, keeping warm on very low heat.
When spaghetti squash is cooled enough to handle, scrape the inside with a fork to shred the squash into spaghetti shape. Plate the squash, drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Add a healthy heap of marinara sauce on top.
(Alternatively, if you don't have time or energy for the squash, make the sauce as usual and serve over a bed of fresh spinach).
