RECIPE-GLUTEN FREE SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Love your spaghetti?  Here's a healthy GLUTEN-FREE way to enjoy it and add more vegetables to your diet!

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 large spaghetti squash  
• 1 tbs olive oil 
• 1 lb organic ground beef
• 1 tbs organic coconut oil
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 1 can organic Italian-style tomatoes
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• sea salt, black and chili pepper  
• fresh chopped basil to taste

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Cut the squash lengthwise and clean out seeds. Rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lie face down on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 60 minutes, flipping over once at the halfway point. 
3. Meanwhile, in a large pan heat the coconut oil and add the chopped onion and garlic, letting cook until it becomes translucent.
4. Add in the ground meat and allow to brown all the way thru (approx 6-8 minutes). 
5. In a high-power blender, mix the tomatoes and pour over the meat mixture. Add spices to taste and remove from heat. After removing squash from the oven, use a fork to form the "spaghetti," and spoon a generous helping of meat on top.
