Animal-Based Beef Meatballs with Zucchini Noodles
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 F/200 C. To a bowl, add the ground beef, parmesan, mozzarella, the egg, salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Chop the parsley and add most of it in, reserving the rest as garnish.
Step 2
Combine the meatball ingredients until everything has come together. Divide into 20 portions and roll them into meatballs. Add 1 tbsp butter to a skillet and place it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Cook the meatballs in the skillet until browned on all sides. You may have to do this in 2 or 3 batches. Return all the meatballs to the skillet and transfer them to the oven.
Step 4
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked. Take them out of the skillet and let the rest. Meanwhile, use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles. Add 1 tbsp of butter to a clean pan and place it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the zoodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until just softened. Season with black pepper and toss. Don’t season with salt at this stage because it will cause the zucchini to release water.
Step 6
Divide the zucchini noodles into 4 bowls. Top with 5 meatballs. Garnish with the remaining parsley, season the zoodles, and serve!
