Ingredients

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 32 lean meatballs 454 g (1 pound)
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (375 g) button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 bag (8 oz/227 g) fresh spinach, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 jar (700 mL) tomato and basil pasta sauce
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes (optional)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut squash in half. Remove seeds. Place cut side down on baking sheet; bake in centre of oven for 30 minutes. Arrange meatballs in single layer on same baking sheet; bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until meatballs are heated through and squash is tender. Using fork, scrape squash strands into a bowl; stir in parmesan cheese. Transfer to serving dish; keep warm. Cover meatballs to hold warmth.
  3. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, mushrooms, and hot pepper flakes (if using) for about 5 minutes or until mushrooms are golden. Add spinach in two batches; cook for about 2 minutes or until slightly wilted. Stir in pasta sauce and hot meatballs; reduce heat to low and cook for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
