Serves: Yields 4 servings

Ingredients

-1 large Spaghetti Squash
-1/2 cup water
-1 pound ground beef/chicken/or turkey
-1/2 cup chopped onion
-1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
-1 garlic clove
-1 cup canned diced tomatoes (or fresh diced tomatoes)
-1/2 tsp. dried oregano
-1/4 tsp. salt
-1/8 tsp. pepper
-1/4 cup parmesan cheese
-1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place with cut side down in a baking dish; add water. Cover and bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until it is easily pierced with a fork. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating the strands with a fork.

In a skillet, cook beef (or chicken or turkey), onion, red pepper and garlic until meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain; add tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper and squash. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Transfer to an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and parsley; let stand a few minutes.
