INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Elk
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 cup Spaghetti Squash (cooked)
1/2 cup Roasted Butternut Squash
1/2 cup Mixed Bell Pepper & Zucchini
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the butternut squash into cubes, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the lean ground elk to the skillet and cook until browned. Break it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the marinara sauce and Italian herbs, then add the mixed bell pepper and zucchini. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the spaghetti squash by cutting it in half, removing seeds, and baking face-down in a 375°F oven for 30-35 minutes, or microwave until tender. Once cooked, use a fork to scrape out the strands.
Plate a base of spaghetti squash strands, top with a portion of the ground elk marinara mixture, and add the roasted butternut squash on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutrient-dense meal.
