• 1 Italian seasoning (Oregano, Basil, Thyme) to taste, I used about 2 tsp

1. Make sure you use a large 6 quart slow cooker for this recipe.
2. Dump your tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic, hot pepper relish and Italian seasoning into your slow cooker and stir well.
3. Cut your squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
4. Place your 2 squash halves face down into your slow cooker.

7. Use a large fork to pull the spaghetti out of your squash, then top with your meatballs and sauce.
8. Garnish with parsley.
