Spaghetti Squash with Meat Sauce

Looking for a comfort meal but not ready to throw in the towel for our 30 day Paleo Challenge?

Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients: 

1 Yellow or Sweet Onion

5 Cloves of Garlic

1 lb Grass Fed Ground Beef

1 lb Grass Fed Ground Pork

2 Spaghetti Squashes 

1 40 oz Jar of Marinara (be sure to check ingredients- no SUGAR) 

Olive Oil

Oregano (preference) 

Basil (preference)

Garlic Powder (preference)

Salt (preference)

*We wanted to have leftovers for lunches so feel free to half this recipe

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place your spaghetti squash(s) on a baking sheet/pan and cook for 1 hour.

While your squashes are baking dice your onion, and mince your garlic. After your onion and garlic are prepped place those in a large skillet with olive oil and sauté. 

After you have sauted your onion and garlic for a few minutes add your ground beef and ground pork to the same skillet. Add Oregano, Basil, Garlic Powder and Salt- you can eyeball the amounts on these ingredients. Brown your meat and cook almost thoroughly through. 

After your meat is cooked place that in a large pot along with your marinara sauce. Bring your sauce and meat to a boil then lower the temp, and continue to cook for 1 hour.

Once your squashes are ready slice them in half and scoop out the insides. Your squashes should be soft enough to simply take a fork and make "spaghetti" noodles. They should look something like this...

You are now ready to combine your "noodles" and your sauce for a delicious paleo dinner. Pair your spaghetti squash with a warm slice of french bread fresh from the oven... Just Kidding:)
