About This Recipe

Ingredients & Prep
Ingredients
Preparation
1

Preheat oven to 375 F.

2

Using a box grater, grate the zucchini on the finest grating side. Squeeze out the water using your hands or a kitchen towel. You want the zucchini to be as "dry" as possible.

3

In a medium bowl, add the zucchini, minced garlic and onion, sea salt, herbs and ground meat. Mix gently to thoroughly combine and incorporate ingredients.

4

Roll meat into balls roughly the size of golfballs and place in a baking dish. Cover with marinara and transfer to the oven.

5

Bake for 30-35 minutes or to an internal temperature of 160 F.

6

Once meatballs are about done, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Prepare Cappellos as instructed. 

7

Divide pasta evenly and top with marinara and meatballs. Serve.
