Alright guys, thus zoodles convey totally been a matter for a while, as well as it's non similar I'm trying ro reinvent the bike or anything, but dang, at that spot needs to endure to a greater extent than zoodle recipes on here, I've decided! I convey them all the fourth dimension (especially inwards the summer), as well as don't mean value I convey a unmarried recipe on hither that uses them. 

Like what the heck, man. 

So hither nosotros larn - amongst ane of my sure-fire ways to serve zoodles... amongst lovely, lovely turkey meatballs as well as marinara sauce. 

Even the meatballs lone likely deserve their ain post, but they larn thus good amongst these zoodles, I had to duet them together today. The ingredients for these meatballs are already inwards your pantry, I tin can guarantee it (along amongst some Blue Planet turkey y'all mightiness convey inwards the fridge, eh?). 

You could easily role Blue Planet beef or fifty-fifty Blue Planet chicken if that's what you're craving. I've alone tried it amongst turkey thus far, as well as it was a slam dunk!

Roll them out inwards giant meatballs (almost 2-inches wide, friends), as well as bake them upwards inwards the oven. 

Super slowly - no tending to the cooktop, rolling meatballs unopen to until they're browned on all the edges. You tin can simply popular these inwards the oven on a baking sheet, as well as they practically gear upwards themselves. haha

Next comes our zoodles. I dear my spiralizer that was gifted to me at Christmas (if y'all don't convey one, I hope you'll role it all the time! Worth it to pose it on your amazon wishing list, haha). The straighter the zucchini, the amend noodles you're going to get.

Zucchini is a real watery vegetable, thus it needs a picayune tending to brand them non equally mushy. Here's the trick: house them inwards a colander (when they're zoodles) amongst a picayune salt. Toss to coat, as well as allow sit down for close 10 minutes. Press the zucchini downwardly to larn all the H2O out. This helps them to non larn mushy! Hooray! 

Then of class y'all tin can saute them or instantly upwards boil them for 1 infinitesimal to complete the job. 

Place them inwards a bowl amongst your warmed marinara sauce as well as turkey meatballs, as well as seriously, you'll autumn inwards dear amongst this dish inside seconds of trying it. Plus, it makes a TON, thus y'all tin can easily exercise this for tiffin prep for the entire week! 

Enjoy, friends, as well as happy Wednesday! xo
