Just put this into the Point Plus Calculator and it is worth 5 points/serving!
Just thought I’d let you know :) Looking forward to making it tonight!

Roni, I found and made this tonight. It is nice that I have all the ingredients. I really like your receipes cause of this, amoung other reasons LOL! I had to make a few modifications since my twins are sensitive or maybe allergic to dairy. I did the meatballs about the same except using chives (didn’t have any). I used yellow squash, mushrooms, spinach, and brocolli and used marinara (sp) instead. It was really good! I am stuggling with the dairy issues though. I was going to make your lasgna instead but making one dish versus two sounded more appeling. Keep up the great work!

Amazing you people actually eat Turkey Testicles (As the name implies) have you no shame? Especially you men should have some natural thoughts of eating a creatures sexual organs.

I made this and it was very good. We did it over whole wheat pasta. I was laughing at the idea of the meat making 19 meatballs however i got the scale out and weighed them and lo and behold, it sure did!

Yesterday we had it for lunch and I stirred in a little light cheddar and it was EXCELLENT! I think that’s my only modification, to stir in a little light cheese at the end.

Super easy and tasty!

we liked (me and 4 year old…anything with meatballs gets his approval!) Believe it or not I had never even heard of or seen a spaghetti squash but i went to the store and sure enough there it was! I cooked it a little too long in the microwave cause it exploded open during cooking. But that made it easierto cut open! LOL I really like it and think I will use it very often! It’s sweet and very yummy!

I loved it! I made a double batch and separated out 2 portions out for my lunches this week, one portion for my dinner and then did 1 1/2 portions each for fiance and his son. Everyone loved it. I think I need to add some more seasoning though when making the meatballs. Weren’t flavorful enough for me BUT I usually eyeball it and didn’t necessarily put in as much as you had in your recipe. Thanks! Found a new go to meal.

I’m making this right now. I’m so excited to try it, I can’t wait!

The only change I made is using whole wheat pasta instead of the spaghetti squash. My boys Ifiance and his son) don’t like it. I’ve tried it a few different ways and they’re just not interested.

Liz – Spaghetti squash is interesting. The texture is exactly like spaghetti but it’s a slightly nutty flavored squash. If it’s a little on the undercooked side it’s has a bit of a crunch in the strands but if it’s over cooked it get’s a little mushy and watery

It is by far my favorite bulker!

Try it! You may be surprised!!

Roni-
I’m a daily follower of your website and have tried many recipes, but this was my absolute favorite! Like you said, the combination of the soup and squash was fantastic – I can’t wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today. Thanks for the constant ideas and inspiration!

I’ve never been a huge fan of squash, but I think it’s because I haven’t tried it enough different ways. How does spaghetti squash taste? What is it’s texture like? Is it mushy? Tender? Chewy like “real” spaghetti?

I’ve recently been throwing loads of zucchini into whatever I’m cooking (soups, chili, even tacos…no one noticed :) ) and would love to try this as a new bulking item.

I always brown my meatballs in the oven. I put them on a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and let them cook for a few minutes while I do something else. That way I don’t have to deal with them sticking to my pan. :~)

Yum. I love making turkey meatballs. I make mine pretty similar but use cream of mushroom instead. I’ve also thrown in there some squash, onion, bellpepper, spinach. SO GOOD.

I love saucy meat and vegetable dishes and the spaghetti squash instead of the usual pasta or rice is a great idea! I would definitely eat this.

Oh this looks so good! And how perfect is this – I have left over ground turkey breast from making your Southwestern Turkey burgers and extra speghetti squash from making your Zucchini and Spaghetti Squash Lasagna.

I absolutely love the burgers – I can’t get enough of them and was completely surprized at cheesy the Lasagna was. My toddler approved both. Can’t wait to see how she likes the meatballs.
