Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb ground beef/turkey
  • 1 jar tomato sauce (I used Rao's)
  • 6 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 oz baby bella mushrooms (optional)
  • fresh basil for topping
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 deg.
  • Cut spagueti squash in half, lengthwise. Spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place spaghetti squash halves (skin side up) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil on a skillet over medium high heat. Add diced onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add ground turkey/beef, season with salt and pepper and cook until no longer pink.
  • Reduce heat to simmer and add tomato sauce. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • When the squash is ready, remove from oven and let it cool down a bit
  • Using a fork scrape all pulp. You should end up with skinny looking spaghetti noodles.
  • Distribute spaghetti squash among the containers by forming a thich layer at the bottom.
  • Then, evenly add ground turkey/beef mixture.
  • Top with sliced fresh mozzarella and place back in the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Just enough time to melt the cheese.
  • Take containers out of the oven, topped with chopped fresh basil and you are done!
