Veggie Spaghetti & "Meat"balls

Do you need a main course for a veggie-friendly friend? Or maybe you are feeling the heat and want to eat a light, veggie-full dinner?

Either way, this Veggie Spaghetti with make your heart sing songs of happiness and you won't pine for pasta.

Promise.

Veggie Spaghetti & "Meat"balls

3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
1/2 onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bag broccoli slaw (about 1.5 cups)
2 summer squash or zucchini, sliced in a spiralizer
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
3 servings of meatless "meat" balls of your choice (my favorites are from IKEA)
(you can use real meat balls if you wish)
salt & pepper & pepper flakes to taste

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the broccoli slaw and cook 2 minutes. Add the squash and cook until softer, (not pasty) about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.
Meanwhile, cook meatballs following package directions. IKEA meatless veggies balls are great from the microwave so that's how I prepared them!
Toss the parmesan cheese and veggie balls with the veggie pasta. Serve with a bit more parmesan! Enjoy!
