Ingredients
6meatballs - precooked
1medium to large spaghetti squash
2cupsmarinara sauce
1cupmozzarella cheesefreshly shredded
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.Soften the spaghetti squash by carefully poking it several times with a knife and microwaving it for approximately 4 minutes. Once it is cool enough to handle, remove it from the microwave and cut it in half. Remove any seeds inside.
Place the squash pieces, cut side down, on an oiled pan. Bake for approximately 30 - 45 minutes, or until the squash is soft enough to scrape into "spaghetti" strands. Once it is soft, use a fork to scrape the strands off of the side of the squash, but leave them inside the squash like a bowl.
For each cut side of the squash: top the newly made spaghetti strands with marinara, meatballs, and cheese. Bake at 425° F for 20 minutes.
Turn the oven to broil, and broil until the cheese just starts to brown.
