makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1 Tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of cinnamon
1 pound of ground beef
1 cup diced onion
2 cups tomato sauce
Fresh or dried Italian seasonings of choice, to taste- I like basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano

Directions

Roast the squash:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cut squash in half and clean out seeds.  Place cut side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with the oil or butter.  Season with salt, pepper and cinnamon and place in oven.  Bake 45 minutes or until fork tender.  

Make the meat sauce:
Brown the ground beef on the stove over medium heat.  Drain excess liquid.  Add onions and saute 2 mintues.  Add tomato sauce and Italian seasonings and stir to combine.

To serve:
Once squash has cooled enough to handle, scoop flesh from the the squash with a spoon.  Top each serving with the meat sauce, and add grated cheese, if desired.
