Ingredients
1 spaghetti squashSea salt & black pepper to taste2 tablespoons bacon fat or grass-fed butter1 onion, finely diced1 carrot, finely diced1 stalk of celery, finely diced1 clove of garlic, grated or finely diced1/2 lb ground veal or beef1/2 lb ground pork4 slices bacon, chopped1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk3 ounces (1/2 small can) tomato paste1/2 cup dry white wine Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375F.
Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise so that two shallow halves remain. Scoop out the seeds and inner portion of the squash, and then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Place both halves face down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-45 minutes—until the flesh of the squash becomes translucent in color and the skin begins to soften and easily separate from the “noodles” that make up the inside.
Allow the squash to cool enough so that you can handle it, and then scoop the flesh out from the inside of the skin into a large serving bowl. Set aside until the sauce is finished.
While the squash bakes: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the bacon fat or butter, and sautée the onions, carrots, and celery until they become translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground veal, pork, and bacon, and cook until browned through. Once the meat is done, add the coconut milk, tomato paste, and white wine (optional), and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes or until the sauce is well combined and any alcohol is cooked out (if you added it).
Add sea salt and black pepper to taste before removing the sauce from the heat.
Serve over the roasted spaghetti squash.
