5 Ingredient Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
Our 5 Ingredient Spaghetti Squash Bolognese is a great way to pack in tons of nutrient-dense veggies into a simple, weeknight meal. We used pasta sauce from our partners at Lucini, but feel free to use what you have on hand.
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 jar pasta sauce
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 cup Zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, and carrots chopped, can sub for veggies of choice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil optional, for drizzling on top
PREPARE the spaghetti squash (Place in slow cooker, whole, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or cut in half and microwave for 15 minutes)
ON the stovetop, sauté the onions and chopped veggies until soft. If you’re worried about picky eaters, you can puree cooked veggies using a blender or immersion blender
ADD ground beef and cook through. Mix in jar of pasta sauce and pureed veggies, if applicable. For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef
SERVE beef, veggie, and sauce mixture over the spaghetti squash. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for plated fat
