Today we decided to cook up a tasty little recipe. If you have never had spaghetti squash before, this is a delicious way to try it.
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Ingredients
- 2 spaghetti squash
- 1lb of ground beef (or ground meat of your choice)
- 1 small white onion
- 1 zucchini
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 jar of vodka sauce or the pasta sauce you prefer (or you can make it from scratch)
- Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees.
- While it is warming up, cut your spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. It is easy to do this with a big metal spoon.
- Next, lay them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper if you have it.
- Drizzle olive oil on them and salt them. You can also use pepper if you’d like.
- Flip them over on the baking tray and use a form to poke them a few times.
- Put them in your preheated over for roughly 30-40 minutes.
- While they are roasting, make your meat sauce.
- Add some olive oil to the pan over medium high heat.
- Put your diced onions in the pan and cook until translucent.
- Next, add your diced zucchini to the pan and your chopped garlic.
- Once your veggies are all cooked through, set them aside in a heat-proof bowl while you are browning your meat (you can use turkey, beef or whatever ground meat you prefer).
- After your meat is basically cooked through, add the veggies back into the pan along with the sauce.
- Allow it all to simmer together until your squash is cooked.
- Once the squash has browned slightly on the edges and the flesh pulls off like strings, you can scoop your sauce into them and layer the top with Parmesan cheese.
- Set your oven to broil and throw the sheet pan back in checking frequently.
- Depending on your oven, it should only take a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Pull them out and serve them warm.
- You can top with fresh basil or some pepper.
- Enjoy!
