My cravings for pasta haven't subsided even though I have been steering away from it. The other night I was craving spaghetti something fierce. I asked Zach if he would make dinner and immediately regretted my decision to do so. I figured he would stop by the commissary, pick up a frozen pizza and some of my other favorite non paleo items and we would have a feast of unhealthy epic proportions because I have loose morals and no self control. All in all, that probably would have never actually happened. It would have been tacos.
Instead I asked him to pick up spaghetti sauce and zucchini because I was finally going to make zucchini noodles!
All in all, it was incredibly easy, mostly labor free dinner that yielded awesome results. I was able to eat dinner, get full and not feel disgusting after I ate my "noodles".
Basically, I julienned (is that the right word?) my zucchini, sliced it long ways with my mandolin slicer and then sliced it in to matchsticks. Made my meatballs with some herbs (don't forget the sea salt and pepper as I always seem to do!) and put them in a covered pan to cook. I heated up my skillet with some olive oil and garlic for the zucchini, cooked them til they were almost translucent and of course, didn't take a picture.
I used 4 medium zucchinis and a little over a pound of hamburger. Be mindful of the sauce you choose. Look at the ingredients. If you can't pronounce it, it's probably not a whole/real food. You can make your own spaghetti sauce by searching for recipes on Pinterest because I don't have that to provide to you.
So that's pretty much it. Not my most amazing post but you get the picture :)
I'm cooking up some big things in my kitchen lately. Stay tuned.
