Pumpkin Bolognese
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash large
- 2 Tbs olive oil divided
- 8 oz turkey ground
- 1/2 onion medium, chopped
- 1 carrot medium, peeled and chopped
- 8 oz mushrooms chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- Water
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup parsley fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Carefully cut spaghetti squash in half length wise. Scoop out the seeds.
- Wash and chop all vegetables.
- Rub half of the olive oil into the inside of the spaghetti squash halves. Place squash cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes or until a knife can easily pierce the skin. Allow to cool at room temperature until cool enough to handle, then use a fork to scrape out the insides.
- While the squash is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned about 5 minutes.
- Add the onion and carrot and cook until carrot becomes tender about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the tomato paste and pumpkin puree. Allow to simmer for a few minutes before adjusting consistency by adding 1/4 cup of water at a time. More water will yield a thinner sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve over roasted spaghetti squash. Garnish with parsley.
