Spaghetti Squash Rounds with 10-Plant Pesto And Meatballs
Ingredients
10-plants pesto
Roasted tomatoes
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut the spaghetti squash in equal rounds (~1.5inch thickness). Clean out the seeds with a spoon. Place the rounds on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a generous amount of salt. Bake for 30-40 mins until fork tender.
-
In a baking dish add baby tomatoes, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands then place in the oven to roast for ~20-25 mins.
-
While squash and tomatoes are baking, in a food processor add all pesto ingredients and blend until completely smooth. May add 1-2 tbsp water if too thick.
-
Once squash is baked, turn oven to broil. Gently pull the spaghetti squash strands from the sides towards the centre of each round until you've created a bed of spaghetti in each round. Divide the pesto evenly between the rounds (saving about 1/4 cup for topping). Layer the pesto evenly. Top with roasted tomatoes and 3 meatballs. Then add 2-3 tsp of pesto on top of meatballs. Sprinkle vegan cheese.
-
Place squash back in oven to broil for 2-3 mins until cheese is melted on top. Sprinkle with basil or parsley. Enjoy!
