Recipe

Spaghetti squash with meat sauce

Ingredients
1 Spaghetti squash
1 Can Organic vegetable tomato sauce
1 Can organic tomato sauce
ground turkey
1/2 small white onion
garlic
fresh basil
black pepper
red pepper flakes
parsley
oregano
coconut cooking oil spray

This was basically the sauce I would traditionally make for spaghetti BUT with squash instead of noodles...it was actually really tasty!

Cut the squash in half (vertically)
Season with black pepper
Coat  pan with the coconut spray
Bake face down @ 375 degrees, for 45 minutes
After the squash cools you can scrape it out with a fork into strands that resemble noodles ( I learned this works better of you scrape horizontally, not vertically like one would assume/ do naturally)
You will know squash is done when the color becomes darker, and it is softer..it also became quite fragrant!

While squash is cooking you can make spaghetti using your traditional recipe (using organic low sodium everything!)

My sauce...
Brown the ground turkey with black pepper, onion, and garlic
Add Sauce
Season with fresh basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, parsley
Simmer while the squash cooks
