SUMMER UPDATE: Shepherd's Pie with Squash (Spagetti Squash Rules!)

I enjoy Shepherd's Pie in all versions - may it be with more carbs (ie potatoes) or less (ie pumpkin), I also truly enjoyed last night's variation with spaghetti squash. The squash makes the dish a little lighter and therefore even more satisfying on a hot summer night.


Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash
2-5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup feta cheese

500gm minced meat (pref beef, or mix)
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 carrot
1 medium sized onion
1 parsnip (can be substituted with one more carrot or any other hard boiling vegetable)
1/2 cup red wine
2-3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Thyme 
half Bouillon cube
salt & pepper
dash of oil
