Instructions
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
• Toss zucchini on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, spread zucchini out across entire sheet).
• In a medium bowl, combine beef*, panko, half the Italian Seasoning, 1 TBSP water, salt (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper (all the Italian Seasoning and 2 TBSP water for 4). Form into 10-12 11⁄2-inch meatballs (20-24 meatballs for 4). • Arrange meatballs on opposite side of baking sheet from zucchini (spread meatballs out across a second sheet for 4). Roast on top rack until zucchini is browned and tender and meatballs are cooked through, 14-16 minutes (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Drain spaghetti; transfer to a large serving bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl (medium bowl for 4 servings), combine marinara, stock concentrate, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • In a separate small microwave-safe bowl (medium bowl for 4), whisk together cream sauce base, half the garlic powder, and 1 TBSP water (all the garlic powder and 2 TBSP water for 4). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
• Place peas in a third small microwave-safe bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
• Carefully uncover red sauce, creamy garlic sauce, and peas (watch out for steam!). • Serve family style with spaghetti, zucchini, meatballs, and Parmesan.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
