Meatballs and Zoodles
Spaghetti sauce is delicious, but can be high in carbs. This is a quick spaghetti that doesn’t use too much tomato in the sauce. It gets a lot of its flavor from the garlic, onion, and cheese. It also uses zucchini noodles as the “spaghetti.”

Tip
If you’re in a hurry, you can just cook the hamburger meat like you’re making spaghetti meat. It tastes the same and saves you time.
You could also add some onions, garlic, and spices to your meatballs for some extra flavor (if your macros allow).
You don’t need a super fancy spiralizer to make zucchini noodles. The one used for this recipe was a small handheld spiralizer for $6.99 from the local grocery market.
