Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, zucchini shreds, egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Form into large meatballs, mine were about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and I made 16 meatballs. Place into a glass baking dish (I used a smaller 7×11 glass dish, what you see above). Then top each meatballs with a little pasta sauce.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on size and thickness of the meatballs.

Cook the pasta as directed. Serve Zucchini Meatballs over pasta and sauce with side of veggies.
