spaghetti squash and veggie meatball- 230 calories


This recipe is for spaghetti squash pasta with Morning Star veggie meatballs.  This is a really easy recipe and has only 230 calories!  It's definitely a great option for a low fat and low calorie dinner that is completely vegetarian.  Here is what you will need for 2 servings:

  • One large spaghetti squash (which makes about 4 cups cooked)
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 Morning Star veggie meatballs
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup onion
Pre heat your oven to 360 degrees.
Take a knife and slice the squash in half (from stem to stem).  Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and strings in the middle.

Put tin foil on the bottom of a baking pan and place the squash face down.  I usually bake it for about 40 minutes or until the squash feels soft when poked with a knife. 

Meanwhile, heat up a skillet on the stove and cook the onion and the garlic.
Cook the veggie meatballs as directed on the bag.  I usually use the oven or the microwave.

When the squash is done, take it out of the oven and use a fork to "comb" out the strands of squash from the middle. 

Add the squash strands into the pan with the onions and garlic and stir  Season with the salt and pepper. Top with the cheese, tomato sauce, and meatballs.


And now you have your wanna-be spaghetti and meatball dish! But without the calories and carbs!  Enjoy!!!
