Only 5 ingredients are needed for this quick and very tasty entree. What you will need to make this easy recipe: Olive oil, garlic, frozen meatballs, favorite pasta sauce and Green Giant Veggie Spirals™ Zucchini.

 

 

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

20 ounces Frozen Italian Style Mini Meatballs

24 ounce Jarred Homemade Style Tomato Basil Sauce

2 packages ( 12 ounces each) Green Giant Veggie Spirals™ Zucchini 

Directions

1. Cook the Green Giant Veggie Spirals™ Zucchini according to the package directions, drain well and keep warm. 2. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add olive oil and garlic, cook until fragrant and soft, 1 -2 minutes. 3. Add the meatballs and sauce and cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until bubbly hot. 
4. Add the well-drained zucchini spirals and toss all the ingredients together until combined. Place on a serving dish and top with freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. Serve with a salad and garlic bread. Serve hot.

 
NOTE: When cooking Green Giant® Veggie Spirals Zucchini, always drain well. Use paper towels to pat dry and soak excess water.
 
Made with 100% vegetables, new Green Giant® Veggie Spirals have up to 90% fewer calories than pasta, making them the perfect swap-in. Green Giant is sauce and seasoning free, so you can serve them exactly the way you like. It’s perfect as an entrée, a side dish, or soup.
 
Don’t want to use frozen meatballs? You can substitute with my Low Carb Meatball recipe. 
 
 
Green Giant® Veggie Spirals Varieties have 65 percent to 90 percent fewer calories per serving than the leading brand of spaghetti. There is a two-step cooking process for the Veggie Spirals.
 
A microwave is the recommended cooking method for efficiency. Drain spirals well in a colander (just like regular pasta) – this has quite a bit of excess water after heating. Serve with a fork.
