Serving size
Ingredients
- 1 Spaghetti Squash, Washed
- 24 oz. Spaghetti Sauce
- 12 oz. IP-compliant Meatballs
Preparation
Step 1
Cut the spaghetti squash in half around the middle and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
Step 2
Place the squash halves cut-side down in a large crock pot. Pour the spaghetti sauce around the sides of the squash.
Step 3
Place the meatballs around the sides as well cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Step 4
Test for doneness by piercing the squash with a fork—if it goes through the skin easily, it’s done.
Step 5
Use tongs to remove the squash from the crockpot carefully. Then, use a fork to scrape out all the squash and discard the shell.
Step 6
Serve and Enjoy!
