2 Grade A Organic Cage Free Brown Eggs
1 teaspoon Simply Nature Organic Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Simply Nature Organic Garlic Powder

Instructions

How to Roast Spaghetti Squash

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut a large spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.
Scoop the seeds out of the middle.
Place the spaghetti squash halves face down in a 9 by 13 glass dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until soft.
(Meanwhile, get the meatballs going, so they can bake at the same time.)

To Make the Meatballs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the ground beef, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, diced onion, diced peppers and coconut flour in a large bowl.
Roll the meat mixture into balls, approximately 2" thick.
Line the meatballs up in a 9 by 13 glass dish.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Add the cooked meatballs and two jars of Specially Selected Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce to a large saucepan. Simmer on medium heat for an additional 15 minutes, while you're waiting for the spaghetti squash to cook through.
When the spaghetti squash is cooked through, scoop the squash from the peel and add it back to the glass dish and toss it with the two tablespoons of 2 tablespoons Simply Nature Mediterranean Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with salt.

Plate it up

Add cooked spaghetti squash to a plate and top with pumpkin chipotle meatballs.

Notes

I actually ended up doing one jar of Specially Selected Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce and one jar of Specially Selected Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce. I wasn't sure if my kids would complain of all chipotle being spicy. No one complained with the half and half ration. In fact, they all lapped it right up! I grabbed a little fresh basil from the garden to add an extra little something something.
