Yield: 2 servings
Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups hearts of palm noodles (like the kinds by Palmini, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods)
6 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (at least 95% lean)
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp. (about 1 large) egg white or fat-free egg substitute
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce
Instructions:
Drain and rinse noodles.
In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, egg white/substitute, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly. Evenly form into 6 meatballs.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add meatballs, and cook and rotate until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Carefully add sauce, and gently stir to coat. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through.
Add noodles to the skillet. Cook and stir until hot, about 2 minutes.
