Paleo Marinara Meat Sauce over Spaghetti Squash

Ok people this one is way to easy and yummy to not try.  I like to make it at the beginning of the week and have the leftovers for lunch. Plus we all know that spaghetti sauce gets better as it sits in the fridge.  So go buy yourself a spaghetti squash and make this easy dinner!  

What you will need...

1lb 96% ground beef

1 yellow onion

1 Jar of Cucina Antica Marinara Sauce (I use this one because it is clean no additives or sugar I found this at Lassens)

1 Spaghetti Squash

Start of by chopping up your onion. Throw the chopped onion and ground beef in a pan on medium heat. 

Cook onion and ground beef till done then drain the fat. Put onion and ground beef back in pan and return to heat. Open your jar of Marinara

And pour into pan with beef and stir well.  Leave on low heat while you cook your spaghetti squash. 

Now this is the hardest part of this recipe. Take a BIG knife and cut the spaghetti squash in half. Please use caution because I'm not kidding that squash is a mother f-er to cut in half. Thank God I do Crossfit.  Once you get it cut in half use a spoon to remove the seeds from the inside 

Now take a 13 by 9 inch dish. Put about 1/4 inch water in the bottom and lay the squash face down in the pan

Now place in microwave for about 20 minutes or until done. You should be able to easily insert a knife through the back of the squash when it's done. Now flip over and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then your going to take a fork and just start scraping out the inside of the squash. It basically shreds and looks like little noodles. Take a heaping portion of that squash and go put some meat sauce over it and there you go. Spaghetti. Paleo style. I told you it was easy. You can thank me later.
