Spiralized Potato Noodle Cups with Meatballs and Tomato Sauce
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 30 minutes mins
Total Time 45 minutes mins
Servings 6
- 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)
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!
