This is a classic dish for those of us that don't eat pasta anymore. Its like nature made the perfect alternative. I love that once cooked the squash comes out in perfect spaghetti sized strips. I am actually beginning to wonder if it was this squash that inspired the creation of spaghetti style wheat pasta...

Serves: 6
Ingredients
- Meat:
- ¾lb ground beef or buffalo
- 2 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp garlic oil
- Marinara:
- 12oz tomato paste
- 2.5 cups water
- 2 tbsp garlic oil
- 2 tbsp fresh basil- minced
- 1 tsp fresh oregano- minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary- minced
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red chili flakes
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and put face down in baking dish with 1 inch of water
- Bake in oven 30-40 min or until you squash has softened to the point to where when you push on the back of it and it gives. I like my squash al dente personally, so I try not to overcook it.
- When squash is done cooking scoop out seeds and using a fork scoop out all of the insides and set aside.
- While squash is baking put all marinara ingredients into a pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer.
- Let cook down for about 1 hour
- When marinara is almost done put 2 tbsp garlic oil into a skillet on medium/high heat
- Once pan is warm add ground buffalo
- As soon as the meat begins to brown use your wooden spoon to break it up into small pieces so it looks like taco meat and add salt and black pepper
- Once meat is cooked through add it to the marinara sauce
- Serve squash with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Fantastico!
I could weep with joy! I just found out I have SIBO and must follow the SCD diet. I am totally overwhelmed and after perusing a few less than appetizing recipes, I stumbled upon your website. Thank you! I made your spaghetti tonight and it’s amazing. I might survive this after all!
You are so welcome! It is a whole new world living on this crazy diet but there are ways to still enjoy food and even have fun with cooking up new dishes that you would have never tried before. 🙂
I thought tomato sauce and paste are on the avoid list.
Tomatoes are allowed it just that tomato sauce typically has garlic, onion and sweeteners that are not allowed. Thats why I make my own.
I haven’t had tomato sauce in months and this was absolutely amazing!!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe – I got my “pasta” fix tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it!
🙂
Wonderful! I’ve been craving pasta since the diagnosis and definitely the most delicious recipe I’ve found. Thank you.
Italian dishes always hit the spot 🙂 You are so welcome!
