I have a lovely spaghetti squash and a pack of [meatballs](http://www.aidells.com/product/20). What do I do with them to make a meal? Tomato based sauce? Cheese? Oil?

I would halve the squash, scoop out the guts, mix them with tomatoes (or sauce), breadcrumbs, whatever else. Then stuff the squash, top with meatballs and some cheese, and bake.
