Ingredients

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1-2 cups pasta sauce we used Rao’s marinara sauce
  • 1 pound frozen turkey meatballs
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the ends off the squash and then cut in half lengthwise. Using a large spoon scoop out all the seeds in the center. Split the olive oil between the two halves and spread around with your hands. Add just a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Spray cooking spray on a large cooking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Place the two halves of the squash face down on the sheet. Poke a few holes in the squash with a fork. Roast for 30-40 minutes. Check with a fork. It should be tender and easy to shred with the fork. Let cool for a few minutes and then use the fork to shred the inside of the squash (it will look like spaghetti). Place on a separate plate.
  • Heat meatballs in the microwave per package instructions.
  • Heat pasta sauce in microwave in a microwave safe cup (do 30 seconds at a time and stir). Check and do another 30 seconds until hot.
  • On a plate place spaghetti squash and put meatballs on top. Put pasta sauce over the top and add parmesan cheese. Enjoy!!

Notes

• Use your favorite pasta sauce. We use store bought because we want it on the table fast but you can make your own. We have one on easy good ideas you can try.
• Use whatever meatballs you want. Beef meatballs will taste great, and you can always make your own. We have some you can try on easy good ideas if you like making your own.
