Red Day Spag Bol minus the spag!

[stivesliz]

I am trying my hardest to cut back on the carbs at the moment and it seems to be suiting me. I had some mince in the fridge and decided to do bolgnaise sauce with it - minus the spaghetti!

I have cut 2 peppers in half, blanched them and then stuffed them with the sauce and have sprinkled my HEA choice of mozzarella over the top. They are currently baking in my oven while I have a cheeky glass of merlot and I must say are smelling and looking lovely. x

Have you thought about trying spaghetti squash? It's not the same but it's SO delicious and superfree!

Where can you buy butternut squash? I've been looking for it for years and never found it.

They have butternut squash everywhere, but its a spaghetti squash you want for this, which are not so easy to come across.

EDIT: Here you go, BritMum's spaghetti squash recipe: http://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/spaghetti-squash

Oops. It was spaghetti squash I meant but I typed the wrong thing.

The only high st shop Ive seen them in is Waitrose. Otherwise you'll probably need a farmer's market or something. But we might passed the harvest for the year really, not many squashes about now.

You can still get BNS in most supermarkets, but the others are harder to find this time of year.
