    Greetings 👋

    Today I’m going to show you how to make Edamame Spaghetti with Meatballs, a classic dish served up on a brand new kind of noodle.  

    💬 What is edamame spaghetti?

    As you may or may not know, edamame beans are immature soybeans that have been cooked in their shells. And Edamame pasta noodles have one ingredient: edamame bean flour.  They’re made from just green soybeans and nothing else.  Zip.  Nada.  Just the edamame beans.  So they are naturally Gluten-Free, Vegan, Paleo, Whole30, and Vegetarian.

    💬 Is edamame pasta Keto?

    It sure is.  An average 2 oz portion of regular spaghetti noodles has about 40g net carbs, while 2 oz of edamame spaghetti noodles has just 7g.  It’s got 13g of fiber and 24g of plant-based protein, so it is a great low glycemic alternative to wheat-based pasta.

    😋 Quick spaghetti and meatballs

    Today I'm going to share a quick and easy recipe for Edamame Spaghetti and Meatballs. This recipe can be low carb or just lower carb, depending on whether you use breadcrumbs and sugar, or sugar-free sweetener and almond flour. Either way, it'll be delicious. 

    🥘 Ingredients

    Spaghetti Sauce:

    • extra virgin olive oil
    • garlic
    • crushed tomatoes
    • Swerve Granular or sugar
    • Italian Seasoning
    • vinegar
    • salt & pepper

    Meatballs:

    • ground beef
    • garlic
    • parmesan cheese
    • almond flour or bread crumbs
    • salt & pepper
    • egg

    Spaghetti:

    • edamame spaghetti

    📖 Instructions

    1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.  Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil.  
    2. Make the sauce first so that it can simmer while you cook the meatballs and the noodles.  Heat olive oil in a large pan over Medium heat.  Add garlic and cook until softened, 2 minutes.
    3. Add remaining sauce ingredients and mix well to combine.
    4. Bring to a low simmer.  Simmer for at least 30 minutes.
    5. In a large bowl, mix all meatball ingredients until well combined.
    6. Use an ⅛ cup measure (or 2 tablespoons) to scoop out meatball mixture.  Roll into meatballs and place on the cookie sheet.
    7. Bake for 14-17 minutes until browned on top and cooked through. 
    8. Combine meatballs and sauce in the saucepan.
    9. Add edamame spaghetti to the pot of boiling water, reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes depending on the desired doneness.
    10. Serve edamame spaghetti noodles with sauce and meatballs on top.

    Just how quick is this meal? ⏲️

    Pretty darn quick.  Simmering the sauce takes the longest time, clocking in at 30 minutes.  But the rest of the meal can be prepped in less than 10 minutes as the sauce cooks.  So 30 minutes total for a big old plate of edamame pasta with meatballs.

    🍝 What do these noodles taste like?

    I should probably have led with this but… edamame pasta noodles are absolutely delicious! Their texture is just like normal high-carb noodles but they’ve got this subtle edamame flavor. They are super tasty.

    So here, have a meatball.  🥰

      This was my first time eating these noodles and I LOVED them. I was really worried that they would taste like grass, so I was relieved that they tasted so good. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

    I'm Emily, the diabetic behind Resolution Eats. Many years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to switch to a low carb diet. It improved both my health and my outlook on life. Since then, I've come up with hundreds of Keto recipes for everything from soup to nuts. And this blog is a way for me to share the low carb love. Cheers!
