Ingredients:
- Meatballs and Spaghetti
- 2 - large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 packages - 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/2 cups - dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cups - grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons - dried minced onion
- 1 cloves - garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 1/8 teaspoons - black pepper
- 1 pounds - ground chicken
- 1 - medium spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
- Sauce
- 1/2 pounds - sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons - olive oil
- 1 cans - 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cans - 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons - minced fresh parsley
- 1 cloves - garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons - dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons - dried basil
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble chicken over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-inch balls.
Place meatballs on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink.
Meanwhile, cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15-18 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, for sauce:
In a large nonstick skillet, sauté mushrooms in oil until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Add meatballs and heat through.
When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to separate strands. Serve with meatballs and sauce.
Meatballs can be frozen for later: Place individual portions of cooled meatballs and squash into a freezer-safe container. To use, partially thaw in fridge overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish until heated through, gently stirring and adding a little bit of water, if necessary.
