recipe: Zucchini spaghetti
The winter weather is upon us this week and that means hot, hearty meals, right? This one-pot zucchini spaghetti is one of my absolute favorites from the vault. I've been making this for years and I never get tired of it. Go grab these few, simple ingredients and try it for yourself!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. of lean ground beef (or turkey if that's your thing)
- 3 large zucchini, diced
- 1 - 24 oz. jar of Rao's marinara (or any marinara of your choosing - this is a personal favorite when I'm not making it from scratch, but be sure to check the label for "no sugar added" as well as no artificial sweeteners).
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Shaved parmesan (optional topping)
Directions
- Saute the ground beef in a large sauce pan or pot until browned throughout.
- Add the diced zucchini to the ground beef, mix thoroughly, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Once the zucchini has softened, add the jar of Rao's and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Then it's ready to serve! I top mine with 1 ounce of shaved parmesan for extra protein and flavor, of course.

In 1988, he moved to the United States and became a police officer at the age of 24 and later joined the Pennsylvania and Florida National Guard. John got by with limited physical training as he simply wasn’t interested and lacked discipline. Fast forward to 2010, after working 22 years as a law enforcement officer, the job began to take its toll in the form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Deep in his battle with depression, John turned to alcohol for comfort for nearly two years - almost losing his family along with everything else. He knew he had to get help. In 2012, he joined CrossFit Black Box in Tallahassee and there he discovered a place to channel his emotions and stress. He found relief.
