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.
