Ingredients
ground beef, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, olive oil, tomato paste, italian seasoning, spaghetti squash, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, basil
Makes 4 servings
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Split spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds
Then lightly spray with pam or similar spray and place flesh side down on a cookie sheet and put in oven for 25-30 minutes.
While squash is in oven, saute shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil in a medium heat pan until translucent. Then stir in ground beef.
When ground beef is almost cooked through add tomato paste, italan seasoning, and creole seasoning. Let the paste caramalize slightly and finish cooking beef through.
Add tomatoes to pan, stir, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Once squash is out of the oven, take a fork and scrape the flesh out completely, then mix with lemon juice, basil, and kosher salt (you can mix the ricotta in here if you want to).
You can serve this layered like a lasagna or you can let everyone serve themselves. Hope you enjoy!
