Spaghetti Squash & Meatball Recipe
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
1 jar of tomato sauce (I used @raoshomemade four cheese for some creaminess but feel free to use your fav!)
Preheat the oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
Microwave your squash for about 4 minutes and then cut in half length-wise (heating the squash makes it easier to cut).
Place the squash on the baking sheet and season with the olive oil, Italian seasoning and a dash of salt & pepper. Flip the squash cut-side down and bake for about 40 minutes.
While the squash is cooking, cook the spinach either on the stovetop or in the microwave and mix it with the sauce.
Remove the squash from the oven and fill each half with the sauce/spinach mixture. Top with a the chicken meatballs and Parmesan cheese.
Return the squash to the oven for about 5-10 minutes or until the top is melted and golden brown.
