Ingredients
  

  • 2 spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey (beef or chicken)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, chopped (about ¾ cup)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 15 ½ oz. jar of Raos Homemade Marinara Sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Zero-calorie nonstick cooking spray
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and stand them up on a small baking sheet. Spray the tops with zero-calorie nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
  • Bake for 45 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool. 
  • While the squash is in the oven, prepare the meat sauce filling. Spray zero-calorie nonstick cooking in the pan/pot over medium heat, and once hot, add the diced onions and carrots. Stir and let cook for about 6 to 7 minutes until the onions and carrots start to cook down. 
  • Add the garlic, ground meat, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Stir and let cook until the meat is cooked, then add the jar of marinara sauce. 
  • Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Use a fork to separate the spaghetti squash and fill each bowl with meat sauce. Add freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil, and enjoy.
