Ingredients

  • Vegetables

  • 1 yellow crookneck squash

  • 1 italian zucchini

  • 1 medium onion

  • 8 oz button mushroom

  • 1/2 tsp italian sesoning

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1/4 cup white wine

  • 2 cups marinara

  • 3/4 c mozzarella

  • 1/4 c grated parmesan

  • Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 cup almond flour

  • 2 tbsp ketchup

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. To make the meatballs, add all the ingredients listed under the “meatballs” section in a bowl. Mix until just combined and form into tablespoon sized balls. Place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Next, rinse your squash. Cut in half long ways and then slice each half into bite sized pieces about 1/2″ thick. Slice the mushrooms to the same thickness. Thinly slice the onions. Heat your skillet on medium high heat. When it is very hot, add 1 tbsp of oil and the mushrooms. Stir to coat and then let it sit, undisturbed for 5 minutes to get a char on one side. Add the onions and squash to the pan, then stir. Allow to cook until the onions are softened, stirring occasionally. This should take 5-10 mins more. Add in the garlic, italian seasoning and salt to taste. Stir, then add wine, scraping up the brown bits. Cook the wine for a few minutes, then add marinara and the meatballs. Top with mozzarella and parmesan. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Keep an eye on it and set a timer for two minute intervals checking every two minutes until done.
  • For Serving
  • I enjoy making garlic bread and salad to serve alongside this dish. I butter italian bread, and sprinkle garlic powder. Broil for 2 minutes and set a timer so the bread does not burn.
