Spaghetti Squash & Meatballs - total time 1 hour


It is squash season!  Put a twist on the classic spaghetti and meatballs by using spaghetti squash instead of noodles.  It is so simple, I wish I would have tried this earlier!

1 spaghetti squash
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
.25 cup parm, grated
herbs, salt & pepper

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut squash in half and bake for 45 minutes.
2.  Combine meat, egg, half of the breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and spices and mix together.  Form balls slightly bigger than ping pong balls.  Roll meatballs in remaining bread crumbs.
3.  Sear meatballs in a hot pan.  Turn every few minutes.  After all sides are seared, put pan in oven for 20 minutes to finish cooking meatballs all the way through.
4.  Run a fork through the cooked squash to make 'spaghetti' and scoop onto plate.  Add your meatballs and some sauce and enjoy!




Yum
