Keto Spaghetti Squash with Meat Sauce

4-Ingredient Spaghetti Squash with Meat Sauce


Ingredients

  • • 1 spaghetti squash, split lengthwise and seeded
  • • 1/2 pound ground pork (or beef, turkey, or chicken)
  • • 14.5 ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season cut squash with salt and brush with a little avocado oil (or oil of choice). Place cut size down in a baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes. The time may vary a little depending on the size of the squash. Check after 35 minutes...it should be fork tender.
  2. Let cool. Using a fork, pull strands out of squash halves.
  3. While the squash is baking, prepare the simple meat sauce. In a skillet, cook pork until there is no more pink. Add the tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until squash is ready.
  4. Spoon cooked spaghetti squash into 2-3 bowls. Top with meat sauce. Season with salt if necessary.
***How to microwave spaghetti squash:***
If you are strapped for time and don’t have a problem with microwaves, you can speed up the cooking process of the spaghetti squash by microwaving instead of baking.  Cut the squash lengthwise in half. Be very careful when cutting one…they can be a little tough with their thick rind. Scoop out seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Cut side up, place in a baking dish with about an inch of water. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for approximately eight-ten minutes, depending on the size of the squash. If you have a large squash or a small microwave, cook one at a time. Let cool. Using a fork, pull squash strands out of shell into a bowl.
