Roasted Garlic Balsamic Honey Brussels

Meatball summer veg sheet pan with lemon olive oil ricotta pasta

😍What you need:

❣️for sheet pan:

•1.5 lbs of ground beef

•1/2 cup milk

•1/2 cup breadcrumbs

•1/4 shredded parm

•2 zucchini - chopped

•1 squash - chopped

•1 onion - sliced

•cherry tomatoes

•1 tsp garlic

•1 tbsp of olive oil

•2 tsp of soy sauce

•1.5 tsp of Worcestershire

•1/2 tsp of thyme

•salt/pepper/onion powder

•spray avocado oil

❣️what you need for pasta:

•Brami pasta! The best high protein pasta out there! 16 oz pack

•1-2 tbsp of olive oil - I did a 7 second drizzle

•1/3 cup ricotta

•1/2-1 cup of pasta water!

•1/2-1 lemon - juiced - depends on how lemony you want it! We could have done a full lemon!

•salt & pepper to your taste! Red pepper flakes would also be amazing!

👩🏼‍🍳what to do:

•preheat oven to 400 F & get water on the stove for pasta.

•next, make your binder by mixing milk & breadcrumbs together in a large bowl - set aside for 5 mins.

•chop up your veggies & add to sheet pan - drizzle oil, spices, & garlic and give a good mix. I recommend doing straight sheet pan (no foil, no parchment!). Pop into the oven, then start on your meatballs.

•add your beef to the milk/breadcrumb mixture, then add parm, soy, Worcestershire, & spices. Mix until well combined - do not over mix / this makes a dense meatball! And make your meatballs - mine made 12 LARGE meatballs - you can make any size!

•take your sheet pan out & then add your meatballs straight to the pan. Spray all over with avocado oil (this helped with the browning SO much). And pop into the oven for 20ish mins until internal temp is at least 160!

•while sheet pan is cooking - make your pasta. Once pasta is cooked add olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon, ricotta & pasta water (most important!) if you want a silkier pasta - the more the better - add it gradually until your preferred consistency!

•serve together 🤩

•would be amazing with a honey drizzle, red pepper flakes & def extra lemon squeeze ❣️
