As requested, here is our Zoodle recipe to pair with your Model Meals Asian Beef and Pork Meatballs recipe we provided a few days ago. Veggie noodles are so versatile and we love this light dish paired with meatballs or a meat sauce or just on their own!

INGREDIENTS: Serves 2 - Use organic and local ingredients whenever possible

*You need a spiralizer or pre-cut veggie noodles for this recipe- we love this one from Ali over at Inspiralized

2 large or 6 medium zucchini

2 tbsp ghee

1 large shallot, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, 1/2 inch diced

1 leek, cleaned and thinly sliced (MM Tip: Use only the bottom white part of the leek and not the green firmer portion)

salt

pepper

red pepper flakes optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

Make sure to use a bigger sauté pan than you would assume you needed as zoodles spread and take a larger surface to cook properly. Melt ghee on medium heat in pan. Add shallots, garlic, and leeks. Sauté for two minutes until leeks start to turn translucent. Add red bell peppers. Sauté for approx 2 mins.  Add the spiralized zucchini. Stir to coat with sauce mixture. Toss noodles every minute or so for desired crispness. For Al Dente (MM Tip: Al Dente- adjective & adverb: cooked so as to be still firm when bitten.) approx 5 mins cooking time. At the very end season to taste with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. 

If you make one of our recipes, we'd love to see it.
