Spicy Spaghetti Squash Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 small spaghetti squash, halved, seeded
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup minced onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 scallions, minced
12 oz ground white turkey meat
2 cups crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp red wine
2 tsp capers
2 tsp minced fresh oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes - (to 2)
2 tbsp minced parsley

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place each squash half cut-side down on a cookie sheet and bake uncovered for about 45 to 60 minutes until a fork goes easily into the shell. Let cool. Scoop out the strands of squash with a large fork and set aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and scallions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the turkey and cook for 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and wine and bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients to the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes. If the squash has cooled too much, reheat it in the microwave, covered for 2 to 3 minutes. Top the squash with the sauce and serve.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1 cup squash with 1/2 cup sauce.

“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.”

~ Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980)
