Looking for a quick and easy dinner idea? This is the one! If you have a batch of my Make-Ahead Healthy Meatballs already in your freezer, you can have dinner ready in 30 minutes!
12 Make-Ahead Healthy Meatballs
1 jar Rao’s Homemade Marinara
1 log Sliced Fresh Mozzarella
2 Zucchini, chopped
4 cups fresh spinach
4 cups fresh broccoli
3 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
Preheat oven to 325. Pull out my Make-Ahead Healthy Meatballs. (No need to thaw). Place in a casserole dish. Pour jarred marinara over the top and place 1 slice of fresh mozzarella over each meatball. Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425. While meatballs are coming together in the oven, add fresh broccoli to a cookie sheet, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and toss to evenly coat each floret. Add to a 425 degree oven and roast until golden brown and slightly crunchy. (About 15-20 minutes.) You can also roast in your air fryer, in batches, for 12 minutes for each batch.
To a sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and turn on medium high heat until shimmering. Add zucchini, kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté until zucchini are golden and cooked, but still have a slight crunch. Remove from pan and set aside.
To the same sauté pan, add 1/4 water and the spinach. Season with a small amount of salt and pepper to taste. Toss around until spinach is sautéed and wilted. Turn off heat. This process goes fast!
To assemble your bowl, add 3 to 4 meatballs, zucchini, broccoli and spinach. Spoon over a bit more of the marinara and enjoy. Top with fresh basil or parmesan cheese if you desire. Enjoy!
