For a paleo diet dinner it was ok. But I agree that it's way too bland.
The dish needed more flavor...garlic would have been a great addition.
More flavor was needed in this dish. The spaghetti squash is watery and bland and I will not buy again. The sauce made lots and I had to tweak it so I added some leftover spaghetti sauce garlic oregano italian seasoning and a little salt. The sauce then worked great served over spaghetti.
Absolutely amazing! My kids prefer this recipe over regular spaghetti sauce with meat and sausage in it. This is amazing on spaghetti squash or by itself. Its very tasty and easy to make. The flavors are wonderful!
Relatively bland, but simple meal. I needed to use 2 spaghetti squash, not 1. Good leftovers. I've made better spag. squash paleo recipes, so I'd honestly skip this if you were considering.
I appreciate the ingredients, but something is missing... and it's not just salt. As a side note, the amount of salt I added to this dish is appalling. It needs something that would add depth and tie it all together, and I'm not sure what that ingredient is. As it stands now, the recipe is very bland and one note. However, the spaghetti squash is fab. This recipe inspires me to use spaghetti squash as a pasta sub in other dishes. We loved the texture and didn't even miss the pasta! Just need to figure out how to spice this dish up because it definitely has potential!
I used 1 pound of Bison and 1 pound of Veal and made meatballs. I added 4 garlic cloves salt and use whole peeled tomatoes and crushed them with my cavewoman's hand!!. I only put 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes not 1 tablespoon I may use less next time. Very tasty!! I'm learning how to cook for my Paleo diet and this will defiantly go into by recipe box!!!! Here's to our Health!!!
This is a great recipe. So what if it is a bit bland... Don't give it a one star because you can't add flavor to your recipes.
I added everything in the recipe minus the red pepper flakes. I cooked the onions by themselves in a tiny bit of olive oil to bring out the flavor the added to them to the cooked hamburger meat and seasoned with sea salt pepper and dried basil thyme and oregano. I then cooked the rest of the ingredients as suggested except I added a larger fresh tomato diced finely peeled plum tomatoes I crushed by hand and 5 garlic cloves finely diced. I added the herbs 1 at a time a couple minutes apart and then seasoned this with sea salt and pepper to taste. Once the sauce which tasted fantastic by the way by itself was added to the meat mixture it lost some of the flavor so I added some dried Italian seasoning (basil thyme and oregano) and that did the trick. My 17 year old son who hates mushrooms and spaghetti squash loved this. Definitely will cook this again.
