All right I love spaghetti, but when I decided in August to cut my carbs to get healthy and lose weight, spaghetti had to go. Not just spaghetti, but pasta in general. When I am measuring out my food, pasta is not worth it even though it used to be one of my favorite things to eat. The first thing I tried was spaghetti squash. I like it, but not a huge fan of the texture (I'm pretty special like that.) So, what to do....I got the idea to try zucchini which I also love. The first time I tried it I grated it and it was too small, but tasted great. This time I cut it up and it was even better and super healthy. I know this isn't for everyone, but we really enjoy it here. If you are looking for an alternative to pasta and like zucchini, you should give it a try.
1 pound of ground turkey
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
zucchini (I usually do 1-1 1/2 per person)
 |
| First, I brown the ground turkey and add the spaghetti sauce. I then let it simmer while I work on the zucchini. |
 |
| While I am cooking the sauce I start cutting the zucchini. I then add a little olive oil to the pan and then the zucchini. |
 |
| I cook it until it is pretty tender. But you can do it as long as you want. |
 |
| Final shot of my yummy dinner! Don't be jealous of the paper plate. I realized we were out of plates after I started the dishwasher! |
