Ingredients:

Serving

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dried minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb ground chicken
1 medium spaghetti squash
sauce:
1/2 lb sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tsp olive oil
1 can (14-1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble chicken over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls.
Place meatballs on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15-18 minutes or until tender.
For sauce, in a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms in oil until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add meatballs and heat through.
When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to separate strands. Serve with meatballs and sauce. Yield: 6 servings.
