Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Tomato Sauce
This is the first recipe that I concocted on my own after making the transition to a paleo lifestyle. This recipe was also the first time I tried using coconut oil. The sauce is delicious and great on its own, and the flavors only get better the following day. — Hayley

Notes
We use Muir Glen tomato sauce for this recipe, because it has no added salt and all natural ingredients. It’s always best to go salt free and add the salt in yourself if desired.

This is my favorite dish on here so far! The recipe has perfect spice and balance. I have made it a couple of times and I really look forward to the leftovers (and I usually HATE eating leftovers).
How do you cook the spaghetti squash? What temperature and how long do you bake it?
