Keto Meatballs with Zoodle Spaghetti
HELLO CJSKETOKITCHEN FAM! This week we bring you another delicious recipe. Here is a delicious keto meal great for week nights and excellent for keto meal prep. This is a two meat keto meatball receipe and it comes in at 1 carb for 3 meatballs. The recipe is versatile and can be made many ways. We made an Italian style meatball but you could make this with a Asian flare, or on kebab’s. These also freeze very well.
So this is one of those simple keto recipes, but actually something that we’d never made since we’ve been on Keto. Sarah use to make these back in her high carb days, and I also enjoyed a good meatball spaghetti every so often. One day Sarah asked what I wanted for dinner and I said “meatballs.” So this recipe calls for two types of ground meat, we used a 80/20 ground beef and ground pork, this is just to increase the dishes flavor profile, the combination of the pork and beef gives it a nice mild flavor. We seared the meatballs in the skillet on two sides and then baked in the oven. The sear locks in the juices of the meat, and adds a nice crunch to the meatballs.
This is a handy recipe to have in your keto arsenal. We used a low carb marinara sauce, but you could take these meatballs in many different directions; Asian, barbecue, spicy, Italian or an Alfredo sauce, just let your imagination go wild. The addition of the grated Parmesan cheese acts sort of like traditional bread crumbs that are often used in meatballs to help bind them together. These are flavorful and really delicious. The recipe makes 25- 30 meatballs depending on how big you make them. We hope you enjoy this, and by the way the whole family will enjoy these!
