SO GOOD!! Spaghetti Squash & Meatballs
« on: June 11, 2012, 08:16:15 PM »
Made this tonight, and it is sooo good and fun!  The squash shell is the bowl!!

 
Baked Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs

 
serves 4-6


1 Spaghetti Squash
1 batch prepared meatballs
1 cup Marinara or spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh basil, torn or sliced

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Brush or drizzle with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet, cut side down and bake for 30-40 minutes. (my squash took about 50-55 min). Cool slightly on baking sheet. Turn oven up to 400. 

Using a fork, scrape squash "spaghetti" up from the rind and fluff into strands. Place meatballs over squash. Pour sauce over. Sprinkle cheeses over sauce. Bake stuffed squash halves on cookie sheet until cheese is melted and bubbling. Top with fresh basil and "serve right out of the squash"!  I also put under the broiler for a few min.

This is a keeper in our house!! :P :P :P  This recipe was found at yummymummy...
