Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large carrot, shredded
1 zucchini, shredded
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup onion, minced
¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
marinara sauce, as needed
16 oz spaghetti, cooked
parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place shredded carrot and zucchini on a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
  • Place strained carrot and zucchini in a bowl and add ground beef, ground pork, parmesan, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
  • Grab about a ¼ cup (85 grams) of the mixture and roll into a ball.
  • Pan-fry the meatballs in a large pan over medium-high heat until all sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes, then add the marinara sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Or, can bake the meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350˚F (180˚C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping after the first 15 minutes. Warm up marinara sauce and serve on the side.
  • Serve the meatballs with cooked spaghetti and Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!
