Smoky Bison Stuffed Spaghetti Squash (Paleo + Low Carb)

Ingredients

• 1 small (2 lb) spaghetti squash
• 1 pound grass-fed bison
• 1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil or tallow
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp. sea salt
• ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups organic spinach, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced
• 2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 2 Tbsp. organic tomato paste
• 1 tsp. fennel seeds

Instructions

1. First, cook the spaghetti squash. Preheat oven to 375 F. Wash the spaghetti squash and use a fork to poke several holes in the outside. Place spaghetti squash on a baking sheet and roast 45-50 minutes. The squash is done once you can pierce through the skin easily with a small paring knife. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large safe non-stick skillet, add the coconut oil and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute 2 minutes to translucent. Add the bison and cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes. Add the smoked paprika, fennel seeds, salt, pepper and rosemary and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to deepen. Stir in tomato paste, spinach and ¼ cup water. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer to let thicken.
3. Halve spaghetti squash. Scoop out seeds. Using a fork, scrape out strands of spaghetti squash to make a “nest” of squash noodles. Top with meat mixture and serve.
