When scraped out with a fork, cooked spaghetti squash transforms into noodle-like strands, complete with a textured bite and lots of fiber and vitamins. It's a great way to satisfy pasta cravings—especially when paired with these oven-broiled turkey meatballs. All the flavors are there — we promise!

Ingredients

1/4 cup Grated Parmesan
1 tbsp. Olive oil
1/4 cup Whole-wheat bread crumbs
1 Large egg white
1 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cloves Garlic
1 Medium carrot
1/4 pound Raw Italian chicken sausage
1/2 pound Ground turkey or chicken
1 1/2 cups Marinara sauce
1 Small spaghetti squash

Method

01

Heat the broiler. Cut ½ in. from the top and bottom of the squash, then cut in half lengthwise. Place the squash, cut-side down, on a plate and microwave on high until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
02

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the turkey, sausage, carrot, garlic, parsley, egg white, bread crumbs, oil, and Parmesan. Form the mixture into 2-in. balls (about 12) and place them on a foil-lined, broiler-proof baking sheet. Broil until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
03

While the meatballs cook, warm the marinara sauce in a large skillet over low heat. Toss the meatballs in the sauce to coat.
04

Working on a plate or cutting board, scoop out and discard the squash seeds. With a fork, gently scrape the strands of flesh into a bowl. Serve the meatballs and sauce over the squash.
