Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

Here's a new, healthy twist on a family favorite!

Ingredients


1 Spaghetti Squash approx 12-14" long (looks yellow and football shaped)
1 lb ground beef
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed


Heat over to 350*. With a large kitchen knife, cut squash in half. Scoop out seeds. Place open face down on greased/sprayed cookie sheet. Cook for 45-60 minutes ,or until the rind is easily pierced. Remove from oven to cool.

In a saute pan, turn to medium and saute the onions and garlic in 1/2 tbsp olive oil until translucent. Add ground beef, and brown it. When beef is cooked, add sauce to mixture.

Scrape out the flesh of the squash with a fork. It should come out stringy, like spaghetti. You may want to add a bit of salt and butter to squash before plating to bring out the flavor. Place on plate, and top with meat sauce, and Parmesan cheese (to taste).
