For the Zucchini Noodles
  • 2 medium Zucchini spiralized
For the Meat Sauce
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef protein base for sauce
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil for sautéing

Equipment

Directions
  1. Spiralize the zucchinis into noodle-like strands using a spiralizer, and lay them on paper towels for about 10 minutes to absorb excess moisture.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  3. Brown the ground beef in the skillet for about 7 minutes, breaking it apart until it's no longer pink.
  4. Incorporate the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning into the skillet, stirring well and letting it simmer on low for around 15 minutes.
  5. Fold the zucchini noodles gently into the meat sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until tender.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with optional grated Parmesan cheese.
