Ingredients

  • 500g (17.6oz) lean beef mince
  • 1 small brown onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup basil leaves, finely chopped plus extra small leaves, to serve
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g (14.11oz) quality napolitana pasta sauce
  • 3 medium zucchini, spiralised into zoodles
  • ¼ cup shaved or finely grated parmesan
  • Baby rocket salad and lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the mince, onion and chopped basil. Season and roll into heaped tablespoon sized meatballs (makes approximately 20 balls).

Step 2

In a large non-stick frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs for 6 to 7 minutes, browning on all sides. Add the pasta sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly reduced and heated through.

Step 3

Add the zoodles, and toss to coat.

Step 4

Place meatballs and zoodles into bowls, top with parmesan and basil leaves and serve with baby rocket and lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips

You will need a vegetable spiraliser for this recipe - alternatively you can use a vegetable peeler and cut the strips with a knife into “zoodles”.
