RECIPE.

So I spend hours making bomb dinners, post braggyphotos of them on the Internet, and the only time 100 people (3 people) ask for a recipe is when I ghetto rig a meal using frozen & jarred stuff. Fine then. I get it.

The recipe for the spaghetti squash and turkey meat-a-balla:

1. Buy bag of frozen turkey meatballs or meatless meatballs from Trader Joe’s.
2. Buy jar of pasta sauce from wherevs.
3. Heat pasta sauce in a pot. Open bag of meatballs. Drop desired number of frozen meatballs into sauce & simmer for 15ish minutes.

To cook the spaghetti squash, cut in half (this is THE HARDEST part, no lie, don’t die), scoop out the seeds and goo, place each half facedown on a glass baking dish and microwave each half alone for 10-12 minutes. [Or do both halves facedown in the oven at 350 for 35-45 minutes]. Scrape the strands out with a fork; marvel at the weirdness of spaghetti squash. Close your eyes and pretend it’s pasta.

Can you handle it?

I never ever cook, but I did cook spaghetti squash once (inspired by two years of living with this one), and I DID almost die trying to cut it in half. This bomb-ass idea of combining with turkey meatballs has inspired me yet again.

  3. misplacedtexans said: I bake my spaghetti squash whole, poking holes in it before baking & then cutting it in half afterwards. It makes the whole cutting process much easier.

All of these recipes look delicious, and most of them seem relatively easy. Still, I will almost definitely never make any these things... but here's hoping, right?
