Zoodles with meatballs and tomato sauce

"Zucchini noodles", better known as zoodles (a mixture of the words courgette and noodles), are a super alternative for those who want to eat low-carb but don't want to give up pasta dishes. With this recipe, we combine the pasta alternative with classic Italian cuisine!

Preparation

Step 1

Finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. Wash the oregano and basil, shake dry, pluck and also chop finely. Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onions and about one clove of garlic.

Step 2

Deglaze with the glass of red wine and boil down briefly. Then add the chopped tomatoes and season with a little salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar and reduce on a low heat for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the sauce is cooking, put the minced meat, 100 g Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl and knead well with the two eggs, the remaining garlic and some salt and pepper. Form the mixture into small balls and fry in a pan.

Step 4

After frying, add the meatballs to the tomato sauce in the pot, as well as the fresh herbs, and then continue to simmer.

Step 5

Wash the courgettes and twist them into zoodles in a spiral slicer. Then arrange the zoodles with the sauce, refine with Parmesan and serve.
