Last nights dinner was
Pizza Spaghetti Bake - I found the original recipe here on Pinterest, but knew I needed to make a few modifications in order to be able to have it be "protocol friendly".
Serves: 3-4 (1C & 1/2 should give you the correct serving size)
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash (about 600 grams)
- 1-2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey (I use 2 in order to make SURE I get my 5oz)
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup pizza sauce (no sugar added) (or make the protocol recipe in the back of your Stimulock Book)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 eggs, whisked
- (optional: add anything you like with pizza: veggies,basil, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Option 1 - Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Place spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the skin of the squash gives when you press on it. Then reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
- Option 2 - I always prep the morning of by cutting my spaghetti squash in half width wise, place it "hole down" in a crock pot of about 3 inches of water, put it on Medium heat for 8 hours. It's ready to scrape out into the dish when you get home!
- Once squash is done cooking, remove threads and place in baking dish.
- Place a large pan over medium heat. Add beef/turkey and onion. Cook until pink no longer remains.
- Add pizza sauce, dried basil and sea salt and pepper to the pan and mix well.
- Add meat mixture to the baking dish and mix well with spaghetti squash threads.
- Lastly, add whisked eggs to the baking dish and mix everything together until you can no longer see the eggs.
- Place in oven and bake for 1 hour or until the top of the mixture forms a slight crust that doesn’t give when you press on it in the middle of the dish.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Once again - This is an AWESOME protocol dish. This one and my "shrimp scampi pasta" are two dishes I would eat anytime, on Stimulock or not...yea, they're that yummy.
How did you like it?! Yummy right?!
Bye Y'all!
