Ingredients
Meatballs
Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 large spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Using your hands, combine all ingredients except for basil and marinara sauce in a large mixing bowl. If you allow the meat to come to room temperature beforehand, this process will feel a lot less cold and will be much more comfortable.
  2. Once thoroughly and evenly mixed, form into meatballs (fairly large, about the size of a lacrosse or tennis ball) and place them in the bottom of your crock pot.
  3. Cover meatballs with marinara sauce, sprinkle with basil and cook on low for about 6 or 7 hours.
  4. With about an hour to go on the meatballs preheat oven to 375° F.
  5. Place squash rind side up on a baking sheet and bake for 35-45 minutes or until tender.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
  7. Using a fork, scrape the flesh side of the squash to create pasta like strands.
  8. Serve with meatballs and marinara sauce. Enjoy!
