Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 small yellow onion, small dice
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 T Italian seasoning
- 2 T nutritional yeast
- 1-20oz jar Cucina Antica marinara
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seed.
- Place the cut side of the squash down a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 35-40 minutes in the oven.
- In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add the ground pork. Chop the pork up into small pieces and continue cooking until it's no longer pink.
- Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the Cucina Antica marinara and the nutritional yeast. Stir into the pork mixture and turn the heat to low.
- Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash strands from the skin. Place the strands into a casserole dish and pour the pork mixture over the top. Toss everything together thoroughly.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the mixture and continue to toss until combined. Evenly distribute the mixture in the casserole dish.
- Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The casserole should be firm throughout and crispy along the edges when it is done.
