Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 3 cups button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3 small spaghetti squash, cut in half length-wise with seeds scooped out
  • Optional topping: fresh basil
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Turn on the BBQ and close the lid until it reaches 400°. While it is heating place the ground beef and shallots in a large wok or pot over medium high heat on the stove and sautée until the beef is fully cooked, it should be nicely browned with no pink left. Then add in the mushrooms and tomato sauce and leave it to simmer on a low boil, turning the heat down to medium if it is boiling too aggressively. Whenever the BBQ is ready place the spaghetti squash halves cut side down over the grill and close the lid for 10 minutes. Then flip them over and close the lid for another 3 minutes. By now they should be fully cooked but check to make sure by using a fork to pull the flesh away from the skin and separate the strands with a couple strokes. If the individual strands do not easily separate it needs a couple more minutes on the grill. Once ready, place each half in a bowl and scoop the sauce on top.
