Spiralized Zucchini and Meatballs

the finished dish

A friend made a lovely lunch for the two of us.  It was so tasty (and easy to prepare!) that I thought I would share. She browned a package of Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs in a skillet, then added them to a jar of vegetable pasta sauce, which she sweetened up by adding mushrooms and julienned broccoli stems.  After dumping everything in a crockpot, we went for a two hour hike.  Upon our return, she spiralized two zucchini into long curls, and sauted them until tender.  Using the zucchini as base, she spooned the meatball sauce over them like a pasta dish.  Topped with grated Parmesean and home-grown basil, the dish was appetizing to both the eye and the palate.  Bon Appetite!
