Spiralized Potato Noodle Cups with Meatballs and Tomato Sauce

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large russet potatoes peeled, Blade D, noodles trimmed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3/4 cup jarred tomato sauce I used Victoria Fine Foods Tomato Herb sauce
  • 6 pre-cooked meatballs defrosted (homemade or otherwise)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a large muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering, add in the potato noodles. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder and toss. Let cook for 7-10 minutes or until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Let cool for 2 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to combine. Pack the potato noodles into the muffin holes, trying your best to create a cavity in the center. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until potato mixture has set.
  • While potato cups bake, pour the tomato sauce into a small skillet and bring to a strong simmer. Add in the meatballs and let heat while potato cups cook.
  • When potato cups are done, remove and align on a platter.
  • If serving immediately, place one meatball on top of each potato cup and top with extra sauce, if desired.
  • If not serving immediately, transfer the cooked meatballs to a serving bowl along with pasta tongs. Let guests make their own meatball cups and serve themselves!
