I had heard people talk about the amazing “spaghetti squash” but was never quite sure about it, until I actually made it for myself! It was one of the best paleo meals I’ve had in the past few weeks, and was beyond stoked to find such an awesome food that is so healthy! Making this meal is extremely easy and simple, and is totally paleo.

First you have to find a spaghetti squash, which should be sold at most grocery stores. Mine was only $1.50 so it’s awesomely cheap. When you get it, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then place it on an oven sheet, and rub a little but of olive oil on it and season it to your liking with whatever seasoning you have available. A little pepper and salt should do.

Then put in the oven at 400 F for about one hour, until the squash is pretty soft and golden brown. Take it out and let it cool for a few minutes until you can actually hold the squash in your hand. Next, take a fork and simply scrape out the insides creating noodle-like strings and throw it in a pan!

I also semi-made some marinara sauce, but you can really do whatever sauce you have available, with whatever paleo style meat you have in the house. It creates the most delicious meal that actually feels like you are eating pasta, but without the guilt from the dreaded “carbs”. It was such a satisfying meal that I am going to make it again tonight!
