Squash with minced meat sauce

There are several farm stands around here that sell pumpkins and squash out of crates. They are a lot cheaper then the ones you will see at the supermarket. And they are grown local!

Spaghetti squash was on the menu for today. This is a type of squash that is on the rather bland side. I cut it into 2 pieces lengthwise and scraped the seeds out with a spoon.

Some "Everything but Bagel" spice from Trader's Joe, granulated onion powder and pepper as seasoning and some spritz of olive oil.
In the oven at 180 C fan fir 40 min.

Scrape the flesh out with a fork when the sauce is ready.

I wanted a meat sauce that was a bit more broth like.

Recipe for the sauce:
400 g minced pork and beef
1 tsp rapeseed oil
150 g green of a leek
1 red onion
1 red chili
2 cloves of garlic
8 cherry tomatoes
300 ml beef stock
Salt, pepper, dried thyme
Fresh lovage stalk
2 bay leaves

In a pot heat up the oil and break the meat in small lumps in. Let it sit a bit and then start to stir. It needs to be cooked just so ut is no longer red.
Add salt and pepper and leek and oniobs with garlic. Cook for 3 more min.
Now in with the rest. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook 20 min.

Serve with the squash or with pasta.
