Spaghetti squash bowls are a cozy, protein-packed dinner made with roasted spaghetti squash, savory ground beef marinara, and plenty of melty cheese. An easy lower-carb dinner that’s still comforting and satisfying!

ingredients

spaghetti squash
• 1 large spaghetti squash
• olive oil, salt + pepper

meat sauce
• 1 lb ground beef
• ½ medium onion, diced
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 8 fresh basil leaves
• 1 tbsp butter
• olive oil

cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut squash crosswise, remove seeds, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down and roast for 40–45 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Sauté onion and carrot for 5 minutes, then add garlic and ground beef. Cook until browned.
3. Add seasonings and marinara. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in fresh basil.
4. Shred the cooked squash with a fork, removing about half the strands. Layer each squash bowl with meat sauce, cheese, squash strands, more sauce, and remaining cheese.
