In this Quick Italian Meatballs With Spaghetti Squash Pasta | Delicious Paleo Meal | Cook With Me, I show how make a quick and easy dinner that is healthy.

Ingredients:

1 Spaghetti squash
1 lb organic grass-fed ground beef
2 organic free-range eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup almond meal (flour)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
I add Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb Seasoning not in recipe--about 1 tsp
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
olive oil spray
2 cups or 24 oz of spaghetti sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup basil chopped (fresh)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Line tow baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.  Pierce the squash all over with a sharp knife and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets.  Roast in the oven for about 45 min, rotating squash after about 15 min. Roast until tender.

Make meatballs.  In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, almond meal, garlic, Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.  I also put 1/4 chopped basil into the meatballs.  Mix until just combined.  Scoop up 2 tablespoons meat mixture and form into a ball.  Repeat for remaining meatballs.  Spray tops of meatballs with olive oil spray.  Bake until done.

Warm the spaghetti sauce in a skillet over medium heat.  Once the meatballs are cooked, add them into sauce and continue to cook for 5 min.

Remove the squash from the oven and cut it in half lengthwise.  Remove the seeds and discard.  Using a fork, scoop the flesh of the squash into a large bowl.  Add olive and some basil to the bowl stir to combine.  

To serve, plate the spaghetti squash and then top with the sauce and meatballs.
