Zucchini Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 medium zucchini, shredded (about 1 1/4 cup)
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (homemade or store bought)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, to top meatballs
pasta
spaghetti sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, zucchini shreds, egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Form into large meatballs, mine were about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and I made 16 meatballs. Place into a glass baking dish (I used a smaller 7x11-inch glass dish, what you see above. Then top each meatball with a little pasta sauce.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on size and thickness of the meatballs.
Cook the pasta as directed.
Serve Zucchini Meatballs over pasta and sauce with a side of veggies. We had green beans!
