Make this easy, healthy Spaghetti Squash AND Meat Sauce all at the same time with this delicious one-pot meal ready in under thirty minutes when made in the pressure cooker or slow cooker!

One-Pot Spaghetti Squash and Meat Sauce (Pressure Cooker and Slow Cooker)

lb 93% ground beef

onion

garlic

salt

black pepper (to taste)

28 oz can crushed tomatoes (I LOVE Tuttorosso)

bay leaf

pecorino romano cheese rind (optional, omit whole30)

Large (4 lb spaghetti squash (makes 6 1/2 cups cooked))

grated cheese for topping (optional, omit whole30)

Sauté the beef with onion, garlic, salt, pepper. Added crushed tomatoes, bay leaf and cheese rind, stir. Pierce the spaghetti squash all over with a knife and place over the sauce. Cook high pressure 15 minutes, or until the skin of squash easily gives when pressed with a spoon. Let the pressure release, discard bay leaf and rind and transfer the squash to a bowl to let cool.

When cool enough to handle, cut in half with a large knife, discard the seeds and scoop the strands out with a fork. Place in a colander to drain well (I use paper towels as well to soak up any excess moisture) then serve sauce over squash with grated cheese if desired.

For the slow cooker, saute meat as above in skillet, transfer to slow cooker with remaining ingredients as listed above and cook low 6 to 8 hours.

Roasted Spaghetti Squash is so versatile and easy to make! Here is a basic recipe.

Roasted Spaghetti Squash

spaghetti squash

salt and fresh pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and fibers with a spoon.

Place on a baking sheet, cut side up and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake at 350° about 1 hour or until the skin gives easily under pressure and the inside is tender. Remove from oven and let it cool 10 minutes.

Using a fork, scrape out the squash flesh a little at a time. It will separate into spaghetti-like strands.

Place in a serving dish and serve hot.
