Ahhh…Spaghetti- a childhood favorite for many, including myself. I always find that I miss tomato based dishes the most. I actually didn’t realize how many of my favorite dishes had tomatoes in them- lasagna, chili, pizza, and of course spaghetti.
Making No-mato sauce is often a bit time consuming and to be honest I don’t often make my own. As a result I haven’t really had traditional spaghetti in the last 3 years or so. But then KC Naturals came out with a No-mato sauce and my problem was solved. I no longer needed to take the time to make my own sauce, I could buy it in a jar and make a quick weeknight meal like I use to. If you haven’t tried their sauce, I would highly recommend it but if you prefer to make your own try this recipe.

In this recipe I used butternut squash noodles (I buy mine already spiraled at my local grocery store) because they have a really neutral flavor and aren’t watery like zucchini. That being said, you can swap out the butternut squash noodles for zucchini noodles or sweet potato noodles.
I love adding bacon to recipes but of course you could just leave it out if you aren’t able to find an AIP friendly bacon. Another option would be to use side pork which you can get at most grocery stores.
I always use baby spinach or kale in my recipes but feel free to use your green of choice.
This is so quick and easy to make and it’s great for batch cooking and freezing portions for lunches. I made a double batch a few days ago and froze some for lazy days.

The link for the jar of no-mato sauce doesn’t go anywhere. What sauce do you use? If I google jar no-mato will I find it? Does it have beets? (I don’t tolerate beets, so all beet substitutes for tomatoes are a no go for me. *sigh*
Hi Katie,
I checked the link and it worked for me so I am not sure what happened there. It is from the brand KC Naturals and yes it has beets in it. Sorry you are unable to have beets maybe you could use a pesto sauce instead.
Making this right now! Don’t have the sauce but still think it looks delish!
Yay! Hope you enjoyed it!
