Total Cook Time: 120 minutes
Ingredients:

​
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using your hands mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
3. Roll into golf-sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment (they can be close to touching).
4. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
5. Put meatballs and fat into the gravy and let simmer covered for up to an hour (in my opinion this is what really gives the gravy its' flavor!).

Making zoodles in easy! All you need is a spiralizer, or a madolin. I love the spiralizer and I lucked out and got an attachment that hooks up to my Kitchen-aid so no work for me!

Use either your mandolin or spiralizer, to make your zoodles.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium.
-
Add zoodles and salt and pepper.

Saute for 5-8 minutes for al dente.

Serve up with some gravy and meatballs!
