ngredients:
- 1 lb keto-friendly Italian meatballs (pre-cooked or homemade)
- 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Meatballs: If using pre-cooked meatballs, warm them according to package instructions. If making homemade meatballs, cook them thoroughly in a skillet until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- Cook the Zoodles: In the same skillet (or a new one), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini noodles (zoodles) and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine with Sauce: Pour sugar-free marinara sauce over the zoodles and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to heat through, about 2 minutes.
- Add Meatballs: Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet with the zoodles and sauce. Gently toss to coat the meatballs and zoodles evenly with the sauce.
- Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Keto Italian Meatball Zoodle Skillet!
