Spaghetti Squash with Meatballs

Either everyone is catching on to how delicious spaghetti squash is or they are trying to eat healthier in the new year because I had a hard time finding spaghetti squash in the grocery stores! I was searching for another product for an upcoming post and had to visit several stores to find it, so I also checked the stores for spaghetti squash.

Eventually, I did find some and I can’t wait to eat it this week! So, today I want to share a recipe for spaghetti squash with meatballs.

First, cook your spaghetti squash and remove the strands. (Wondering how to cook spaghetti squash? Here’s my recipe for How To Cook Spaghetti Squash In The Microwave.) Mix in your favorite spaghetti sauce. The amount of sauce needed will depend on the size of the spaghetti squash you cooked.

Fill the squash bowls halfway with spaghetti squash and sauce. Add a few hot, fully cooked meatballs.

Spaghetti and Meatballs Boats

Add some more spaghetti squash, sauce and meatballs until the squash boat is full.

Cook the spaghetti squash and meatballs in the oven at 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the sauce is hot.

Spaghetti Squash Boats

Yummy, cheesy goodness! One of the best things about this recipe for spaghetti squash with meatballs is that it is served right out of the squash halves. The squash makes it own bowls or squash boats that are just plain fun!

    Are you kidding me? I was excited by the pictures of your dish, but when I scrolled down to view the recipe. almost everything comes from a jar, pre-made. Won’t be trying this one.

      It’s no joke Linda! That’s how we roll, but you are always welcome to substitute the ready-made items with homemade. Plan on about at least an hour for homemade meatballs and 1 1/2 – 3 1/2 hours for spaghetti sauce made from scratch. The good things is that once you make the homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce you can freeze the leftovers for future meals. Best of luck! ~Tonia

    It seems to be hit or miss at the stores near my house with spaghetti squash. Sometimes they have it, sometimes they don’t. When I see it again, I’ll have to pick one up so I can make this. LOVE this idea, Tonia!

    I have stayed away from spaghetti squash. Not sure why. I guess fear of the unknown. This look so good. I love that it’s you own personal bowl.

    I just caught on to spaghetti squash towards the end of last year. I eat one a week over the course of a few meals. I am worried I might burn out on it and what would I do without it!

    I am so mad my spaghetti squash went bad! This recipe would have been perfect! In my defense, I did hide it behind my acorn squash and completely forgot about it.
