Meatballs in Ragu

Who doesn’t love spaghetti meatballs? And who doesn’t love a low carb version of spaghetti meatballs?? This here my friends is your ticket to Italy without the extra kilos. It’s all the taste with zero guilt. Not that I’m saying you should feel guilty for eating this with actually pasta, but I am a health coach and most people who frequent this website are here for the low carb alternatives. Bon appetite !
