Preparation Time 5 minutes
Cooking Time 10 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients:
50g Jack Purcell 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
400 g 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
Cooking Instructions:
- In a large bowl combine the mince, onion and chopped basil. Season and roll into heaped tablespoon sized meatballs (makes approximately 20 balls).
- 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.
- Add the zoodles, and toss to coat.
- Place meatballs and zoodles into bowls, top with parmesan and basil leaves and serve with baby rocket and lemon wedges, if desired.
Essential 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”.
