Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Prepare the squash

    1. Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
    2. Place on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt & pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
    3. Bake for 40 min or until fork tender.

    Prepare the filling

    1. Chop the onion and pepper (if using) and mince the garlic.
    2. In a large frying pan, heat oil and add the onion and pepper and saute for 5 min then add the minced garlic. Once the onion and pepper are fork tender remove them to a bowl and set aside.
    3. Fry the ground beef or turkey until no longer pink and drain any fat.
    4. Add in the cauliflower rice, the cooked onions, pepper, and garlic, and stir.
    5. Add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning and stir. If it seems dry add a bit of water.
    6. Add a large handful of spinach, and simmer the mixture for about 5 min until the spinach has wilted down.
    7. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Stuff the squash

    1. Fill the squash with the meat mixture. If you are using cheese top with mozzarella a and cover with aluminum foil. Return the squash to oven for about 5-10 min to melt the cheese.
    2. If you are not using cheese you can serve it right away.

Notes

Parmesan cheese can be substituted for mozzarella cheese. You can omit the cheese and make it dairy-free. You may have some extra meat mixture leftover. Make sure the delicate squash are similar in size so they cook evenly.
