Savor a light yet flavorful dish featuring lean beef meatballs simmered in a bright, homemade basil tomato sauce served atop tender zucchini noodles. This dish brightly balances rich umami flavors with fresh, aromatic basil and garlic notes, perfect for a satisfying, clean-eating dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 medium Zucchini
½ cup Diced Tomatoes
¼ cup Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
In a bowl, mix the lean ground beef with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
Place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
While the meatballs are cooking, spiralize or julienne the zucchini to create noodles, then set aside.
In a separate pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes to the garlic, letting them simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the chopped fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly warm the zucchini noodles in the pan for 1-2 minutes, just until tender but still retaining a slight crunch.
Plate the zucchini noodles as a base, then top with the beef meatballs and generously spoon over the fresh basil tomato sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, healthy flavors.
