It wasn’t until a bachelorette party in Chicago at RPM that I became a fan of meatballs. I despise meatloaf, but now am a converted meatball lover. When I saw this recipe featured on Elise’s blog, I knew I had to make it soon. If you’re doing Whole 30 this works for you too! I never thought to sub veggies for the filling in meatballs, but it works so well and these are beyond good. We served ours over ‘zoodles’ and organic tomato basil sauce. The recipe made a ton, so be prepared for leftovers (who ever complains about those?!).

AAHHHH, I know exactly what you mean about meatballs. I could live without meat entirely but after having the meatballs at RPM Italian I found myself looking at meatball recipes. So out of character for me!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe 🙂
Zoodles all day every day. I am literally obsessed with them. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Yum! I’ve mastered the art of zoodles, so next up is these meatballs!
Definitely book marking this one! Looks amazing!

omgosh RPM kind of ruins meatballs for everyone – you either fall in love with this food you used to hate or you probably can’t eat any other besides theirs! (i fall firmly into the first camp) If you’re ever back in chicago, their burrata is also the most amazing one i’ve ever had. like absolutely hands down. now i’m starving, someone should also try to recreate their zucchini fritti. or i should just go back…….
