This delicious and nutritious meal ticks all the boxes. It’s gluten-free, keto-friendly, and quick to whip up—it’s sure to be a family favorite!
Traditional meatballs and spaghetti can be carb-heavy and hard to digest. This recipe lightens the classic up by integrating zucchini noodles and a light, flavorful sauce to pair with the meatballs. Adding in both ground chicken and pork helps keep the meatballs tender while remaining high in protein. Pork has a higher fat content than chicken, which will make these meatballs juicy and keep you coming back for more.
You can even get your kids to help make the meatballs. Rolling them out is fun and interactive for the whole family. You can even get creative by adding some spices or herbs of your choice like oregano, chili flakes, or paprika.
Zucchini noodles, or “zoodles” as they’re most commonly known in the low-carb community, are spiralized zucchinis used as a noodle replacement. They’re low in calories but high in fiber and antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for those wanting to lose weight or include more veggies into their diet.
Zoodles pair perfectly with the slightly zesty, light sauce. Adding a squeeze of lemon cuts through the richness of the meatballs and gives a nice kick to the whole dish. This recipe also keeps well as meal prep for the next day, but remember to keep the meatballs and zoodles separate so they remain fresh and not soggy.
