Spaghetti (Squash) Pie


Do you want to want to trick your kids into eating spaghetti squash???  Of course you do!!!! 


Make this super simple and delicious recipe.  

In front of my girls, I call this dish Spaghetti Pie.  What they don't know is that the 'noodles' are not really noodles but spaghetti squash.  It tricks them every time!  And I have picky eaters who would never eat squash willingly.

Added bonus, only 5 ingredients.  Recipe modified slightly from PaleOMG.





Ingredients


1 lb ground beef
1 tsp dried basil
1 jar of marinara sauce 
1 spaghetti squash (1 to 1.5lb)
3 eggs, whisked

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut spaghetti squash in half length-wise.  Remove seeds. Place flesh side down.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool 10-20 minutes.  Remove threads with a metal spoon.

Over medium heat, brown the ground beef in a large skillet.  Remove any excess grease.

Spray an 8x8 baking dish with olive oil spray.  In dish, combine the ground beef, dried basil, marinara sauce, and spaghetti squash threads.  Mix well.  Then add in whisked eggs and stir to combine until you can no longer see the eggs.

Bake in oven for 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees until well set (will not give when pressed in the middle of the dish).
