Fresh garlic I absolutely love garlic if You are not a big fan of garlic you Don't have to add quite as many as this But I'm gonna use my garlic press for This I love this garlic press it really Makes it so easy In order to mince it up and I wanted to Do it this way that way there's a nice Pronounced flavor of garlic when I start The sauce so here I have two pounds of Grass-fed 90% lean ground sirloin and I Absolutely love this type of meat and I'm adding a nice sprinkle of salt and Pepper and 2 tablespoons of hazelnut Flour and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened Almond milk you can actually use any Kind of milk you like and if you don't Want to use hazelnut flour I did this to Keep it grain free you can also use Bread crumbs in that work Perfect so now I am rolling out the Meatballs to just even size pieces you Can use a cookie scoop to do this I Didn't want to dirty a cookie scoop so I'm just rolling them out to about the Same size and you'll know the meatballs To the right of the right texture when It feels not too moist and not too dry So now with my inste pot I have set it To saute and put a drizzle of olive oil In it and I'm putting half of the Meatballs inside of here we do not want This to steam that is very very Important we want to Brown this meat and
I decided to add another drizzle of Olive oil you want to leave it on the Bottom of the pot and not move it for Several minutes so it develops that nice Crust guys my house smells amazing look At that oh my goodness so delicious so Now we're gonna get started on batch 2 So I'm just repeating the same process And doing the same thing oh this is Gonna be so good so once these are Browns I'm gonna remove them from the Pan and then I'm gonna put in the onion And garlic the heart I reserved Brown it Just for a couple of minutes and then I'm adding all of the sauce and all of The paste to the instant pot and I'm Adding the dried spices so the basil the Parsley and I also love to add the dried Red chili flakes it makes it a little Bit hot if you don't want this don't add It and I absolutely love this wine I Love adding it to the sauce I'm using Half a cup if you don't want to put wine In you don't have to you could just add Some extra water and I'm just giving Everything a really good mix and now I'm Going to add two Bay leaves bay leaves add a really great Flavor to the sauce just make sure you Remove them when the sauce that's Finished cooking so you don't Accidentally eat them I'm also adding One teaspoon of cane sugar if you want To keep this sugar free you can omit

Seconds until the pin drops all the way Down and then it is safe to open wait For this oh look at that that looks so Incredibly delicious again usually my Sauce would take at least 45 minutes and This in 10 minutes is incredible so now I'm adding some fresh basil and parsley To the sauce I really like to add the Fresh ingredients the fresh herbs last And now I'm plating it up look at this Oh my goodness look at that Oh this pasta was absolutely delicious It also is great for meal prepping a few Delicious meatballs on top high protein So incredibly delicious I've reserved Some of the fresh herbs for the garnish And then I like to top mine with some Grated pecorino romano cheese because it Is just so incredibly delicious ok guys As promised now it's time for the Low-carb version of this delicious Spaghetti and meatballs so I'm grabbing Two medium zucchini and my spiralizer This is my handheld one it's inexpensive It's easy it works great so I'm just Making some zoodles and look at this oh My goodness You would think it's high carb pasta but It isn't it is absolutely delicious I Love to eat this after a long day at Work because I know it's healthy and Nutritious but without any extra added Carbs Of course garnishing with some fresh
