Emily T Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I made meatballs in tomato sauce over the weekend and I am all zoodled out. No more zoodles! What else can I serve them over/with? (I cannot find spaghetti squash at my market.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Shredded cabbage would work. either raw and let the hot sauce wilt it, or lightly steam it. Or you could serve it over cauliflower cous cous or cauliflower rice. that may be tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily T Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ooohhh I just happen to have cabbage in my fridge. Dinner tonight! *happy dance* Other suggestions still appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishgal Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'd cook loads of mushrooms and onions and put them in the sauce with the meatballs? I eat too many mushrooms!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted July 7, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2015 Over a baked potato or sweet potato? Or add a bunch of veggies, thin with broth as needed, and call it meatball soup? Or just have meatballs on the side of whatever vegetables sound good -- strain them out of the sauce if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Any protein is nice over leafy greens...including meatballs in fab tomato sauce. Steak, taco meat, sliced beef or pork ribs, grilled salmon/trout. I lurve my roasted vege and sauteed kale over fresh, tender leafy greens. Soft buttery lettuces, romaine, all varieties of leafy greens, everything tastes great over greens. Then I throw a balsamic reduction over all of it. Lemony, limey, one made with berries...balsamic reductions over proteins, roasted vege and greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkers Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I tend to cut my meatballs into pieces and use them to just scoop up the tomato sauce. I've also done tomato sauce over roasted broccoli, roasted cauliflower, or mixed roast vegetables. You can also toss some olives into the mix and I'm loving Britishgal's suggestion of mushrooms.

edgymama Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I have also just done up a bag of california medley (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower) in the micro and had my sauce and balls over that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I do this too which kind of defeats the purpose (& the faff) of making meatballs which is why I make them so rarely Another vote for mushrooms!!

Haha, I often put "meatballs" on my menu but when it comes down to the time and annoyance of having to make them, I usually put all the ingredients together in a frying pan and call it "loose meatballs". Basically just seasoned ground meat. Has always turned out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I have mashed cauliflower with my meatballs. I make mine in a tomato/coconut milk curry type sauce and use that as the 'gravy' for the mashed cauliflower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinSpin Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We like them cold with a mayo dip! I really love the turkey and cranberry meatballs from the clothes make the girl. Sooo yummy with a compliant mustard/mayo dip. yum! I like them like that, with a big plate of roasted assorted veggies with them. I will have to make the curry style ones that Amy mentioned -- that sounds really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
