This week, J and I are starting our second Whole30 experience and we could not be more excited to try out some new Whole30 approved recipes! First up is a work week favorite – Paleo “spaghetti” with meat sauce. This dish makes a great quick meal during the week and only requires three real ingredients. It is perfect for those nights when you don’t have a lot of time but need to stay on track while eating clean.
Why not try out this recipe this week and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
Spaghetti
- 2 medium sized zucchini
- Salt and Pepper
Sauce
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 jar of Rao’s Tomato and Basil Sauce (available at Whole Foods and most grocery stores, a great option if you don’t want to make your own sauce because there is no added sugar and no preservatives)
Directions:
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.
- While the beef is browning, slice zucchini to desired thickness (we made ours long and skinny like spaghetti). You can also use a mandoline to slice zucchini.
- Drain once beef is thoroughly cooked.
- Add sauce to the beef and simmer on medium/low.
- While sauce is simmering add zucchini to a medium microwave safe bowl.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook on high for 3 minutes, or until desired tenderness is reached.
- Drain the zucchini.
- Plate the zucchini and top with meat sauce.
- Enjoy!
