Cooking Tools Required
Can Opener, Colander, Cutting board, Dutch Oven, Mixing bowls, Mixing spoon, Saucepan, Saute pan, Sharp Knives, Skillet, Spiralizer, Tongs, Top StoveIngredients
- 6 cup zucchini washed and trimmed
- 3 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound Italian sausage spicy if you like
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- ½ cup celery finely chopped
- ½ cup carrot finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ cup white wine dry, optional
- 28 ounce canned whole peeled plum tomatoes
- Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
For the zoodles:
- Run squash through a spiralizer, or cut into long julienne strips, about ¼ inch wide. Place the zoodles in a large colander and sprinkle with kosher salt, lifting and turning to coat each strip. Let stand over a bowl for 30 minutes.
- Rinse zoodles then squeeze them gently to remove excess moisture.
- When ready to cook, place a dry non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot add zoodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, turning gently.
- Turn heat to low, add olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
For the meat-tomato sauce:
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil oil, ground beef, and sausage, breaking up the chunks into small pieces.
- When meat is cooked halfway through, add the onions, celery, and carrot, sautéing until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes more.
- Add the Kosher salt and the white wine. Cook until the wine has evaporated.
- Add the tomatoes and saute an additional 15 minutes. Taste and correct for salt. Serve sauce over zoodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Reheating/Serving Instructions
Heat in microwave on high power until heated through. Meat sauce can be frozen for future use.
