Notes
- As always, I recommend grass-fed beef for the meatballs as it contains more nutrients than its grain-fed counterpart. However, it sometimes can be difficult to find grass-fed beef in supermarkets (and often I’ve seen supermarkets overpricing these meats). That’s why I was delighted to discover US Wellness Meats. Their grass-fed beef is recognized for its exceptional taste, quality and nutritional benefits, and you can order directly online from their website to have it delivered to your door. How easy is that?
- I recommend using a spiralizer like mine from Paderno World Cuisine to turn the zucchini into noodle-like swirls. Long and fat zucchini make the best zoodles, and it is also important to keep the zucchini centered inside the spiralizer when slicing them. If you want your final zoodles to be whiter, make sure to peel them. :)
- Zoodles would be a fantastic substitute in gluten free chicken noodle soup or any soup that requires pasta.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
