"Spaghetti" & Meatballs

❤️Roast your spaghetti squash:

• Preheat the oven to 450

• Cut your squash in half, clean the squash by removing the seeds and stringy part of the squash.

• Polk holes in the skin with a knife

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the squash skin side down, salt & pepper your squash. I don't like to add water, broth or oils

• bake in the oven at 30 minutes, just until fork tender when you can pull away from the sides.

• Let it cool
