LEAN & GREEN SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOLOGNESE

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400*F.
  2. Open up the oven and preheat it to 350°F/180°C. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds from each spaghetti squash half. Bake sliced spaghetti squash halves on a baking sheet for approximately 30 minutes, or until the flesh can be shredded with a fork away from the skin. Remove the squash from the oven, spoon out the flesh with a fork into a bowl, then measure 3 cups and keep any leftovers for another meal. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt (if desired) and the basil leaves to the 3 cups of spaghetti squash, then combine.
  3. While the squash cooks, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef with the tomatoes, scallions, water, paprika, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir often as you bring to a boil. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to a low setting and cook for about 30 minutes.
