Today we needed to re-write a traditional recipe to make it healthier and a little better for you. I LOVE pasta with meatballs or meat sauce so making it a little lower in carbs and calories is something that I’ve had experience with. So…without further ado…here is my Zucchini Noodles with Meat Sauce
I love my KitchenAid spiralizer…it is sooooooo easy to make zucchini noodles with this attachment. I made one small zucchini into spiralized noodles.
I browned ground turkey with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
I steamed the zucchini noodles in a silicone steamer for 2 minutes 15 seconds in the microwave. Don’t oversteam the zucchini noodles because they will get mushy.
I added tomato sauce and some of the ground turkey to the zucchini noodles and YUM!!! Way less calories and carbs and just as satisfying.
AH! I have tried this with yellow squash but never with zucchini! I am going to have to try it out.

Zucchini noodles are such a great idea! I also love using spaghetti squash as noodles 🙂

My friend made something similar for her kids and they LOVED it! Couldn’t get enough!
I have never tried making noodles with zucchini before. it looks delicious. I’ll have to try it.
You’ll love it…try it.
Okay okay, I am going to break down and get a zucchini noodle maker! You sold me
Go and get it Cynthia!!!! lol
I have a hard time with veggies, does this taste close to spaghetti with normal noodles? Je,Je,Je maybe I should try it and find out 🙂
When you put the sauce and meat in with it, you wouldn’t know it was zucchini
I actually bought a zucchini noodle maker and it’s still in the box…lol. We eat pasta at least once a week and I really need to put it to use.
The Kitchenmaid spiralizer is the best kitchen tool ever!!!!
Wow! That spiral-er is awesome! I think I need to get myself one of those!!! <3
