How do you eat your balls??


Do you eat balls? James and I love to eat a few balls every now and then; I am talking about spaghetti and meat balls! Our super food inspired spaghetti and meat ball recipe melts in your mouth. We substitute spaghetti squash for traditional spaghetti; a healthy and mouth watering alternative! We create our meatballs from scratch using all white meat turkey burger. We add some flair and BRAVO a delicious dish!

We save $$ with this dish by purchasing one mid-sized spaghetti squash and ½ pound of white meat turkey (makes 16 small balls). We divide the supplies to make dinner for two nights! We save time by cooking the meal one night and enjoying for TWO NIGHTS- win win!

How to cook the squash:

Cut the squash length wise
place the squash face down on a cook sheet or baking dish
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes (times differ based on squash size)
*You can tell if the squash is finished by completing the "fork test" slip your fork into the squash guts, if the guts peel off the skin easily, your squash is done! Also, you will notice that the squash looks like sphegetti.
Scoop the guts of the squash into a large glass bowl
