Ingredients
  

  • 1 Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 2 Celery Ribs diced
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoon Vegan Butter
  • cup Hot Sauce decrease to ¼ cup if you don't want a lot of spice or add more if you like a lot of heat. You can always add more on top when serving!
  • ½ cup Ranch Dressing Use Primal Kitchen Foods, Tessemae's or Sir Kensingtons for dairy-free
  • 3 Eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt & Pepper or to taste
Optional
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and sliced for garnish & additional spice

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Slice spaghetti squash in half and remove seeds. Roast about 20-30 minutes or until fork tender. Remove from oven and shred with a fork to create noodle like strands. You want the "noodles" to be al dente because they will continue cooking with the rest of the casserole.
  3. Meanwhile, while the squash is cooking, in a medium size stove top skillet or oven safe cast iron pan, heat oil and brown ground chicken over medium heat. Add the peppers and celery and cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Remove the chicken mixture from heat and add butter(it will melt in the hot pan), hot sauce & dressing to the pan. Mix well.
  5. Stir the spaghetti squash shreds into the chicken mixture.
  6. At this point, if you are not using an oven safe pan, transfer the spaghetti squash & chicken mixture to a greased 9x13 casserole dish.
  7. Fold in the eggs mixing well to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Increase the oven temperature to 400° and bake for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are set. You can broil for the last few minutes for an extra crisp top!
