Hi Friends! Please enjoy my latest cooking demo on making Spaghetti Squash Bolognese, a healthier, lower carb, paleo version of traditional spaghetti bolognese. This dish is gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo. Hope you get a chance to make it!

Ingredients:

1 large spaghetti squash
2 bunches of basil, 1 bunch for the sauce, the other to chiffonade and use at the time of serving
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced, or through garlic press
1 package of shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 jars of organic pasta (marinara) sauce
2 lbs of organic ground chicken
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 and 1/2 tsp salt + extra to sprinkle on squash
1/4 tsp pepper + extra to sprinkle on squash

Instructions:
1) Cut the spaghetti squash in 1/2, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle some salt and pepper over it. Turn it so the cut side is face down in a glass baking dish, and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 min.

2) Meanwhile, make the bolognese sauce: In an Instant Pot, saute the onions and garlic with 1/8 cup olive oil. Then add the bell peppers and shiitake mushrooms. Saute until fragrant.

3) Add 2 lbs of organic ground chicken and add another 1/8 cup of olive oil. Season with 2 and 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 tablespoon dried oregano and 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning.

4) Mix well with a large spatula or wooden spoon. Break up the chicken and saute until brown. Then add 2 jars of pasta sauce.

5) Add 1 bunch of chopped basil and mix well.

6) Close the Instant Pot and cook at high pressure for 10 min. If using a regular pot, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook at low heat for 10 min.

4) When the squash is done baking, open the aluminum foil carefully, and flip the squashes so the cut side if face up. Carefully remove the seeds with a spoon or fork.

5) Run your fork through the spaghetti squash to create the "noodles!" Scoop them out of the shell into a separate plate.

6) Serve your dish by putting a large scoop of bolognese sauce over the spaghetti squash noodles and top with some basil chiffonade. To make basil chiffonade, watch the video on how to stack, roll, and finely chop the basil leaves.

Hope you get a chance to make this dish and enjoy it with the whole family!
