Servings: 4
Ingredients
Butternut Squash Noodles:
- 1 small butternut squash
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons of garlic powder
Parmesan Broccoli “Meatballs”
- 2 cups of steamed broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup of Panko Bread Flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
Butternut Squash Noodles:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prepare your squash by cutting off the ends and peeling.
- Cut the squash into manageable sizes and load each piece of squash on the spiralizer.
- Place the noodles on parchment paper on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste and toss the pasta to coat it all.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the pasta is tender.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite tomato sauce.
Broccoli “Meatballs”:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Add the steamed broccoli florets to a large bowl. They should be soft enough to mash with the back of a fork, just enough to break into little pieces.
- Add the parmesan cheese, Panko Bread Flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add to the dry ingredients and stir just to combine.
- Form the broccoli mixture into 10 balls, squeezing them a little to make sure they hold their shape, and place each one on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Bake until meatballs are golden on the outside and heated through, about 20 minutes, rolling them 10 minutes through to brown on the reverse side.
- Remove them from the oven and serve immediately.
