Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1½ cups tomato sauce
  • 4 small zucchini
  • Meatballs
  • ½ lb ground veal (or beef)
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • ½ yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon hot paprika
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Mix together all the meatball ingredients in a medium sized bowl until thoroughly blended (using hands works best). Scoop out 2 tablespoons at a time and roll the beef mixture into balls and place on a slotted roasting tray (this helps all the excess fat drip out instead of gathering at the base of the meatballs). Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
  2. Set up the tomato sauce in a medium pot on the stove over medium heat to warm it up. Add in the meatballs and leave to simmer for a couple minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place the zoodles in a large skillet over medium high heat for around 5 minutes, tossing frequently until they warm up and start to soften slightly.
