Zucchini Spaghetti with Meatballs

PREPARATION

1. Trim the ends off the zucchini and use a spiralizer* to make the zucchini noodles. Cut extra-long noodles so they are about the length of spaghetti.
2. Heat oil in 5 quart pot over medium high. Add garlic and cook for a minute.
3. Add noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Mix in and cover for 2-3 minutes.
4. Heat meatballs according to package directions.
5. Add heated meatballs and spaghetti sauce to the noodles and heat for 2-3 minutes.

*The spiralizer is not the only way to make zucchini noodles. You can use a julienne vegetable peeler or a mandolin. You can also use a standard vegetable peeler to make wide noodles or ribbons.
