Spaghetti squash bolognese is a low-carb healthy dinner recipe. First, spaghetti squash is roasted in the oven. While that's cooking the meat sauce is simmering in a frying pan on the stove.
Wash the outside of the spaghetti squash and slice it in half.
Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and flesh.
Drizzle oil, salt and pepper on to the flesh. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, then lay the squash - inside facing down. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until inside is golden brown and soft.
Let cool 10-15, then flip over.
Use a fork and drag across the inside flesh, creating the spaghetti strings.
Add all the spaghetti squash to a bowl and set aside.

Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix together and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
