Step 1 of 5
Place mince, zucchini and carrot in a large bowl. Add garlic paste, breadcrumbs and chopped parsley, then season with pepper and mix until well combined. Roll level tablespoons of mince mixture into balls, then place on a large baking paper-lined tray. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to chill.
Step 2 of 5
Spray a large, deep frying pan with oil, then heat over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, in 2 batches, for
5 minutes, turning, or until browned. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Heat pan over medium heat. Cook onion for 5 minutes, stirring, or until softened. Add sauce and meatballs, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat
to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened and meatballs are cooked through.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in a saucepan of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain.
