Ingredients List:

For the meatballs:

• 1 lb ground beef (or turkey, if preferred)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup almond flour (for a gluten-free, low-carb binder)
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

The zucchini noodles:

• 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce:

• 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce (or make your own)
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

5. Heat the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the sugar-free marinara sauce over low heat until warm.
