Transform zucchini into zoodles for a quick and nutritious twist on a classic dish in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

500g lean beef mince
1 small brown onion, finely diced
62.50 ml basil leaves, finely chopped plus extra small leaves, to serve
400g quality napolitana pasta sauce
3 medium zucchini, spiralised into zoodles
62.50 ml shaved or finely grated parmesan
Baby rocket salad, to serve
Lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions:

Mix the ground meat, onion, and fresh basil in a bowl. Add seasoning and shape the mixture into meatballs using heaped tablespoons (you should end up with around 20 meatballs).
Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for 6 to 7 minutes. Then, add the pasta sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through and slightly reduced.
Toss the zoodles to evenly coat them.
Divide meatballs and zoodles among serving bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan and basil leaves. Serve with optional baby rocket and lemon wedges on the side.
