Zucchini spaghetti and meatballs


Sauce:  In a crockpot, add 2 cans of tomato sauce (15 oz each) and 1 can diced tomatoes. Add 1 can (6oz.) tomato paste and 1 large onion roughly chopped. Add 1/4 cup red wine and the following seasonings: garlic powder, parsley, pepper, italian seasoning, oregano, and onion powder. Cook on high for 2 hours, when meatballs are done, add these to the crockpot with the sauce.

Meatballs:
1 pound of ground turkey or pork
2 pounds grassfed beef
2 eggs (try the omega 3 ones!)
1/2 cup almond meal
1 onion, minced
2 stalks celery minced
4 cloves garlic
seasonings: parsley, basil, oregano, salt and pepper

Mix all together and form into 1 inch balls- cook in glass baking dish with a little olive oil. 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Noodles:

I got this new kitchen gadget - a julienne peeler. Pretty fun to use!
I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond:http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=12949731. They are also available on Amazon.com

I used 1 large zucchini - about 1 foot long, and used the peeler to make the noodles. Run the peeler the length of the zucchini to make the noodles. Noodles will look like this:
Place noodles in a microwave safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cook on high for 2 minutes. Place a generous amount of noodles on a plate and cover with sauce and meatballs. Enjoy!
