1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes - drained
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

Spaghetti Squash:

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 balsamic vinegar and mix in.
Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix together and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
Add the spaghetti squash to a bowl and top with bolognese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
