Spiraled zucchini noodles w/ homemade turkey meatballs

I don’t know about you but I grew UP on Spaghetti. My grandmother would make it at least once a week and you can be certain that it’d be served for leftovers at least once. As you might already know I’m a big fan on swapping out certain ingredients to make some of my favorite foods a bit more healthy.

Zucchini noodles are a great substitute if you’re looking to stay away from the heavy carbs. However, if you’re rocking with regular pasta I ain’t mad at you! Just sub out the zucchini noodles for regular pasta and enjoy!
