Ginger''s Paleo Vodka Sauce w/Chicken, Mushrooms & Spaghetti Squash

I really love vodka sauce, the creaminess, the yummy spices and of course poured on top of some pasta. Since cream sauces and pasta don't jive w/the Paleo lifestyle I created my own version of vodka sauce for spaghetti squash. This sauce is so creamy, so yummy, you wont even notice it's not filled with heavy cream.

What you'll need:

1 pound of chicken
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 can organic coconut milk
1 can tomato paste
1 red bell pepper
l large package of sliced mushrooms
1 spaghetti squash
olive oil
sea salt
pepper
crushed red pepper
Italian herb blend
crushed garlic
5 quart dutch oven

Saute the garlic in olive oil for a few minutes and then add the mushrooms - continue to saute over medium heat for 10 - 20 minutes. Once brown, add the chicken and fire roasted tomatoes. Continue cooking over medium heat for 10 minutes, covered. Stir occasionally. Add the tomato paste and coconut milk and stir until blended. Add the spices, turn the heat down to simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour over your spaghetti squash and enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
