Set oven to 350F.
Chop up butternut squash, slicing horizontally into thick chunks, then peel or cut off the skin. Place the chunks in a spiralizer to make thin or thick noodles.
Place the noodles on a baking sheet, spray with olive oil, then bake noodles for 6 to 8 minutes.
Spray a skillet with olive oil, then add garlic and your choice of protein or veggie ground. Chop it up as it cooks in the skillet. When it’s almost finished, about 5 minutes, add your favorite store-bought marinara or pizza sauce.
Mix the marinara with the ground meat or veggies, then place over a serving of baked butternut noodles. The noodles should be tender, yet still somewhat firm.
Garnish with cilantro or parsley, and/or parmesan.
