Zucchini Spaghetti
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.
