Health benefits of Paleo Spaghetti Squash

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

2 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1/4 cup olive oil, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 sausages
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tomato, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces baby spinach leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Season squash halves with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place squash, cut-side down, on prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Cool squash for 10 minutes; scrape flesh out of squash with a fork.
Cook and stir sausages in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Stir spaghetti squash, canned tomatoes, diced tomato, and garlic into skillet with sausages; cook and stir until warmed-through, 2 to 4 minutes. Add spinach; cook and stir until spinach wilts, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
