This Spaghetti Squash with Garlic Cilantro Meatballs and Cilantro Pesto is a flavorful, healthy option for a simple, Summertime dinner.

If you have yet to try spaghetti squash, I’m sorry to say you are missing out. In the midst of the Spiralizer craze, spaghetti squash has always been a natural version of a vegetable in noodle form. The OG noodle veggie.

After rummaging through my different food portals, I found some lean ground beef and thought I would make some meatballs for my “spaghetti”. I had a ton of leftover cilantro, so pesto was the perfect topping for my pasta.
