Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs – Glam Radar

Spaghetti Squash with  Meatballs –  This is a dinner that we have a lot because it’s easy and the kids and I love it. I can hide vegetables in the sauce and they have no idea what they are eating. It’s so simple to make a huge batch of meatballs and freeze them for the next time you need a quick dinner.spaghetti-squash-and-meatballs

I am not a big fan of microwaving anything but it does come in handy with spaghetti squash. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds and place cut side down in a dish large enough to fit squash. Pour into the dish 1/2 cup of water and microwave each half for 10 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork. Scoop out the squash into a bowl and add a little butter or ghee and salt and pepper.

Marinara Sauce 2 cans organic tomato sauce (just pureed tomato) 2 tbsp coconut or olive oil 1 small onion, finely diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 celery stick, chopped 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped 8 mushrooms, sliced 1 red pepper, finely diced 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

1. In  a medium saucepan add the oil, onion and garlic and saute over medium low heat for approximately 8 minutes. Add celery, carrot, peppers, salt and pepper and continue to cook until vegetables are tender.

2. Add tomato sauce, mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue to cook over low heat for approximately 15 minutes then add the fresh herbs and continue to cook with the lid on for another 5 minutes.

If you have any mashed sweet potato add about 1/2 cup to the marinara sauce to add a little sweetness.
