4 Servings | 10 Minutes Prep Time | 30 Minutes Total Time
Ingredients
1 Lb. Ground Beef, Ground Turkey or Ground Sausage (you can buy Italian seasoned meat)
4 Slices of Uncured Bacon (sliced)
¼-½ Onion (chopped)
2-4 Zucchinis (you can buy these zoodled or make them yourself)
½ Cup Sugar-Free Pasta Sauce
½ Cup Alfredo Sauce
1-2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
Spices – Italian Mix and Salt, Pepper & Garlic
Directions
- Heat up one skillet. Cut up the bacon into small pieces and start frying them.
- Cut the onion up and then add it into that same pan when bacon is a little more than halfway done. Let these two cook together at medium to low heat and drain fat/grease if you want.
- Start to spiral-ize (zoodle) your zucchini. If store-bought zoodles then the next step is to heat up a deep and large enough pot with the olive oil. Add the zoodles and pepper and garlic and cook over low heat.
- In a side small pan or even in a mason jar, add ½ cup to 1 cup of (boiling) water and add salt. Shake or stir and let sit off to the side.
- Add the ground meat to the bacon and onion mix and the Italian seasoning mix (if not already seasoned) and increase heat to medium if not already.
- Make sure to break up the meat and let brown.
- Once all mixed and browned, you can drain the fat again.
- Then add the pasta sauce and Alfredo and let simmer for a few minutes.
- To make the sauce more sauce-y add that salt water into the pan and let simmer again for a few minutes. This is a little trick that usually I use when cooking pasta noodles off on the side, the salty/starchy water adds that special touch but we made zoodles instead.
- Serve yourself the zoodles then add a heaping scoop to 2 scoops of the sauce on top and enjoy!
NOTES:
Cheese: You can add shaved or grated Parmesan cheese to the top. This will add to the grams of fat and protein.
Carbs: Each zucchini should make one heaping serving of zoodles, so if you want smaller portions use 2-3, aka less carbs.
Zoodle Machine: Mine was gifted to me, I think from Bed Bath & Beyond. Amazon should have some.
Spices: I just sprinkle how much I want- do the same.
