Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, basil, thyme, and salt. Form the mixture into meatballs and transfer to one of the baking sheets.
  • On a separate baking sheet, place the spaghetti squash flesh-side down. Cook the squash for about 30 to 35 minutes (or until fork tender), and the meatballs for 15 to 20 minutes (or until cooked through).
  • Meanwhile, warm up the tomato sauce in a saucepan over low-medium heat.
  • When cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred the squash into noodles. Top with the meatballs and tomato sauce.
