Beef and Spaghetti Squash Savory Ground Beef with Roasted Spaghetti Squash Ingredients: 1 medium spaghetti squash 1 lb (450g) ground beef 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup marinara sauce 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried basil Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil Grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Place cut sides down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender. While squash is roasting, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce, dried oregano, and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Once spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl or directly onto plates. Top the spaghetti squash strands with the beef sauce mixture. Garnish with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
