Macros per serving - 269 Calories - 12g Fat - 20g Carbs - 23g Protein

Ingredients
5 tsp olive oil divided
Salt & Pepper
200g Butternut Squash Spirals
200g Ground Bison
28oz Can whole San Marzano Tomatoes peeled
5 cloves of garlic sliced
1 tbsp Oregano

Recipe

1. In a high walled frying pan heated over medium high heat, add 3 tsps of oil. Once hot, saute garlic for 15-30 seconds until fragrant. Once fragrant, dump in our can of tomatoes and crush with a spoon.

2. Bring to a boil, stir in 1 Tbsp oregano and reduce heat to a simmer and allow to cook for 12-15 minutes until a deep red colour is achieved and most of the liquid has cooked out. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Heat a non stick pan over medium high heat and add in 2 tsp oil. Once heated, add in our ground bison, leaving undisturbed until a crust is formed along the bottom, 3-4 minutes. Flip and begin breaking up the meat and continue cooking until it is fully cooked through and no pink remains. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

4. With the non stick pan still on medium heat, add in our butternut squash spirals and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occassionally, until a desired texture is reached. I like mine a little crunchy so closer to the 4-5 minute mark.

5. Plate half of the butternut squash (about 100g) and Half of the ground bison (about 100g) and top with 2 large spoonfuls of sauce.

6. You can top with some grated parmesan and/or fresh basil.

7. Enjoy your spaghetti night!

I am going to try that marinara sauce! I don't like the one that Hubby buys! Your doing awesome Nick! The subscribes will come!! =o) And I have a suggestion too... why the heck did I buy 2 bags of "hard red spring wheat berries"?! lol.... cleaning out my kitchen cupboards and found them. Apparently Google says its good for up to 30 years! Got any ideas? Maybe something warm? Dinner like? I mostly found salads. Thanks! =o)
