Zucchini “Spaghetti” and Meatballs

zucchini-spaghetti-and-meatballs

The meal shown above, which includes three meatballs under that yummy grated parmesan, can be yours for just 360 calories. The same volume of canned ravioli (which is kinda gross anyway) will set you back a whopping 730 calories, and a comparable bowl of traditional spaghetti and meatballs weighs in at almost 800 calories.

A person of average weight would need to do over 1,200 sit ups to burn 800 calories.

Let that sink in.

The trick to enjoying savory, satisfying red sauce, meatballs, and parmesan cheese is to enjoy them with spiral cut zucchini instead of pasta. Yes, zucchini. All you need to cut a zucchini into spaghetti-like strands is about 10 seconds and this device:

  1. I LOVE zucchini noodles (zoodles). They are so mild in taste, and pick up whatever flavor sauce you top them with. Well worth buying that little gizmo!
