Main Ingredients

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions: 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
  • While the squash is baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  • Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl. Add the beef mixture and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
