This recipe provides instructions for making spaghetti squash with meat sauce. It calls for preparing one large spaghetti squash by microwaving or baking it, then removing the seeds and loosening the squash strands with a fork. The strands are cooked with seasonings, then topped with a meat sauce made from Boca crumbles, tomato sauce, and parmesan cheese. The entire dish is meant to resemble traditional spaghetti and meatballs, but uses spaghetti squash instead of pasta for a low-carb option.
How To Make Spaghetti Squash
- 1. Created by : Irene Wijaya Maria Vinandhea Class :X2
- 2. Ingredients : 1 Large Spaghetti Squash (about 4 cups) 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 3. 1/2 tsp Pepper 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 4. 2 cups Boca Crumble Meat 2 tbs Grated parmesan cheese 1 Cup Tomato sauce of choice
- 5. 1. Prepare spaghetti squash by microwaving for 5-10 minutes, or until soft.Or bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until squash is soft. This allows the skin to soften, which makes it easier to cut in half lengthwise!
- 6. 2. Split the spaghetti squash into two even halves. Be careful, it’s hot! 3. Remove the seeds first, and throw them into a ‘trash bowl’
- 7. 4. Using a fork, loosen the ’spaghetti’ strands from the inside of the squash, scraping them into a bowl or plate.
- 8. 5. Pick out your favorite seasonings you would use to flavor any traditional pasta dish. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add spaghetti squash “noodles” to the sauteed pan, along with the seasonings of your choice.
- 9. 6. Let squash cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium high heat, stirring constantly until the squash has become more tender and the excess moisture has cooked out of the squash.
- 10. 7. To make my meat sauce I used ‘boca’ meat crumbles, but lean ground beef or turkey would work just as well! I also used a low calorie spaghetti sauce, (50 calories per 1/2 cup) and parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.
- 11. 8. Sautee the ground meat crumbles and sauce over high heat until the ‘meat’ is cooked through.
- 12. 9. Place 1/2 of the spaghetti squash onto a plate, and top with 1/2 of the meat sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top if desired. Last, Serve warm and enjoy!
