Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 500g beef mince
  • ½ cup rice crumbs or gluten free bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 500g jar of Leggo’s Classic Tomato Pasta Sauce
  • 3 large zucchinis

 

Steps: 

  1. 1. Combine mince, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan cheese, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Form into small balls.
  2. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large deep sided frypan over high heat. Add meatballs and cook for 5 minutes or until browned on the outside, turning regularly. Reduce heat to low and add Leggo’s Pasta Sauce. Simmer covered for 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, to make zoodles, peel zucchini lengthways using a julienne peeler to make long strands resembling spaghetti. Place a heat proof bowl, season well and cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes before draining.
  4. 4. Place zoodles in a bowl. Top with meatballs and sauce. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and parsley leaves.
