faux s'ghetti & meatballs.

I have a confession: I LOVE pasta. 

As in it's an obsession of mine. 

I could eat it every day. 

But alas, the hubs is STILL making us 'diet' ... No carbs after lunch. STILL. 

{though I have made him cheat several times}

Last week I was CRAVING pasta ... So I made the next best thing ... Spaghetti squash and meatballs 

I totally made up the recipe but here she is ... 

~ 1 spaghetti squash

~ 1 lb. ground beef {or turkey}

~ 1/2 C. breadcrumbs

~ 1 clove minced garlic

~ 1 egg

~ 1 Tbs. dried parsley

~ Cut squash in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Place in a microwave safe dish; add some water to the bottom. Microwave for 15-25 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly then scrape with a fork ... This makes the s'ghetti! Drizzle with olive oil. 

~ While squash is cooking, mix beef, breadcrumbs, garlic, egg and parsley together. Form into 1 inch balls. Heat 2 Tbs. olive oil in large pan. Add meatballs and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. 

~ I put about 1/2 C. spinach in the bottom of both of our bowls then added spaghetti squash, topped with more spinach and meatballs. Then for a little extra kick I drizzled the bowls with a balsamic glaze! 

This was SO SO good y'all! A must try! 

Happy Monday!
