I thought I’d start adding recipes a little more often and I wanted to start with this new recipe I recently came across. I made this for my husband a couple of weeks ago and it was a major hit. And, the best part of all is that it was so easy!
All you need for two is:
One spaghetti squash
2 cans enchilada sauce
Cooked sausage, chicken, or beef (meat of your choice – leftovers would work great) optional
Tasty ingredients of your choice. I used mushrooms, jalepeno’s and onions, but you could add just about anything you want to
Grated cheese
Cut the spaghetti squash in half. Clean out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil. Turn upside down on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Separate the spaghetti with a fork. Fluff to fill each bowl. Pour one can of enchilada sauce into each bowl. Add meat and vegetables of choice to each half. Mix together. Top with graded cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts. Approximately 15 minutes. And, voila’! Just like that…..your meal is done!
And, trust me you won’t need anything else with this. You’ll be lucky to eat the entire thing. More than likely you’ll have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch. (I added a dollop of sour cream and some hot sauce to mine and it was yummy.)
If you’re a Paleo follower eliminate the cheese and make your own enchilada sauce from scratch.
If you’re a vegetarian eliminate the meat and if you are lactose intolerant just use vegetarian cheese instead of regular cheese.
Try it and let me know what you think!
