Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Pure Farmland® Plant-Based Homestyle Meatballs
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
¾ cup grape tomatoes (10-12 tomatoes)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 large green zucchini, spiralized (about 1.5 lbs, before spiralized)
⅓ cup prepared basil pesto
¼ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then the meatballs. Cook, turning frequently, until even golden brown and heated through the center, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove from skillet to a paper towel-lined plate. Once skillet is cool enough to handle, wipe clean with paper towel.
  • Return skillet to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil, tomatoes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly golden and just tender (but not burst). Remove to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, then zucchini noodles. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir very gently to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until zoodles are slightly tender. Add the pesto and stir gently to combine.
  • Transfer to a large serving platter and top with meatballs, tomatoes, roasted almonds, and Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
