I serve these meatballs over (gluten free) homemade zucchini noodles, with the Tomato Sauce recipe from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook, though you can serve them over anything you like! I have found that the zucchini noodles taste even better if you toss them in a bit of olive oil and tomato sauce and let them sit and marinate for an hour on the counter. Then top with these gluten-free meatballs. Then yum.
