Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Mix beef, egg, breadcrumbs, oregano and salt/pepper to taste
2	Shape into 8 balls
3	Brown on all sides in a pan sprayed with Pam
4	Remove from pan once browned, and place in a saucepan with 4 cups of spaghetti sauce (either make it quickly mixing the puree with the water or if using store bought sauce, I like Hunts -- it''s all natural with no added sugar or fat).
5	Simmer for about an hour. Makes 4 servings (2 meatballs per serving)
6	Cook the spaghetti squash by roasting it whole at 400 for 50 minutes. Once cooled, prepare by halving, scraping seeds and removing the flesh with a fork so that it pulls away in spaghetti-like strings.. 1 serving is about 3 cups (a good sized plate).
7	Top the squash with some sauce and 2 meatballs...
