Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

 Going out for a long run or putting in an extra long session at the gym? Your body often feels better when you have a belly full of pasta (before or after). Try this healthier alternative to pasta!

Fresh and delicious. Here I made it with a meat sauce but it also tastes good with butter (grass fed if paleo), salt and pepper. If you aren't on Paleo- try it with some Parmesan cheese.

 

Ingredients:

1  Spaghetti Squash

1 lb. Meat- I used Venison. (You can use chicken, beef, or Turkey)

1 jar Pasta Sauce- I use Classico Tomato and Basil (has all natural ingredients, salt is listed last)

2 Cloves of Garlic, minced

Process~

Spaghetti Squash:

Heat Squash up in Microwave for 1 Minute. Slice in half long ways. (This takes some muscles)

Clean out the seeds and all the membrane (just like a pumpkin).

Lay each half on a cookie sheet, cut side up.

Bake in the oven for 40 minutes-or until fork tender.

Remove and let cool for about 3 minutes.

Take a fork and scrape the squash out- it will come out in long strands like Spaghetti.

Venison Sauce:

In a saucepan, brown venison completely.

Add 2 cloves of mince garlic. Allow to simmer for 2 minutes.

Pour in 1 jar of Pasta Sauce. Allow to simmer until warm.

Plate Spaghetti and pour sauce over top. Serve with spinach salad and Enjoy.
