Ingredients
Zucchini Noodles:
  • 2 large zucchini
  • Sea salt
Meat Sauce:
  • 1 pound 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)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Wash the zucchini
  3. Insert the slicing disc into your spiral slicer. Place 1 squash on the prongs and line up the de-seeding hole in the middle of the squash.
  4. Turn the handle of the spiral slicer until you reached the end of the zucchini
  5. Discard the center portion with the seeds
  6. Line a cookie sheet with paper towels
  7. Place the noodles on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt
  8. Place the noodles in the oven for 30 minutes, until the paper towels have absorbed most of the moisture
  9. Brown the ground beef in a pan over medium heat
  10. Add the jar of tomato sauce and heat thoroughly
  11. Add the noodles to your sauce and let them simmer for about 10 minutes
Notes
If you don't already have a vegetable spiral slicer I highly recommend investing in one. Alternatively you can use a Julienne slicer or a sharp knife.
