Description

These creamy Tuscan-style meatballs are low-carb and keto-friendly, made with almond flour and simmered in a rich garlic-Parmesan cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen green peas

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion or shallot

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 12 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or mint)


Instructions

  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft.

  2. Stir in frozen peas. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until heated through and bright green.

  3. Season with salt and pepper. Add chopped herbs and cook 1 more minute.

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra richness, finish with a pat of butter or a splash of cream.

  • Best served fresh, but leftovers reheat well.
