Paleo Spaghetti Basil Casserole


Here's a super easy recipe that is sure to impress. My husband and I live a pretty busy life of kids and long hour careers and I admit we rarely eat dinner together as a family during the week. What!!?? I know, I know its not ideal but I do try to be a good wife every once in awhile and make a large paleo dish that will last him a few days and this just happened to be this weeks concoction. The basil really brings it all together and makes it so flavorful and delicious. 

Ingredients:

1 Large Spaghetti Squash
24oz Pasta Sauce (no sugar added) 
8oz mushrooms
4oz sliced black olives
20 Fresh basil leaves
1lb ground beef 
Garlic, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. Degrees

In a large frying pan brown ground beef with garlic, sea salt and pepper to taste. 

Poke several holes into squash and place in microwave for 10 minutes. Turn squash over and microwave an additional 3 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes cut in half and scoop seeds out. Scrape squash out with a forks and spread evenly in a large baking dish. Sprinkle squash with garlic powder and a little sea salt and then place basil leaves on top. 

Add mushrooms and pasta sauce to ground beef mixture, lightly stir and pour evenly over basil and squash. Sprinkle olives on top and bake for 15 minutes.

Hope you like!
