ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH MEAT SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

    We have been experimenting with a lot of low carb substitutes for Pasta.  This version using fresh Zucchini and the Spiral Cutter attachment on our mixer has been by far the best.  I made my normal Pasta Sauce with Ground Beef, Italian Sausage, Onions, Garlic, Onion, Carrots, Celery and a Tomato Basil Sauce.  Super delicious and low carb too

DINNER AT HOME

My Daughter wanted Pasta Bolognese and I am eating a low carb diet.  I compromised and made hers with normal pasta and made mine with 1/3 pasta and 2/3 Veggie Nests made from Zucchini and Squash.  I made the Bolognese using Ground Beef and Pork along with Onions, Carrots, Celery and Garlic. Added two jars of Bertolli Tomato and Basil Sauce (our fave).  Sauce came out perfect and was delicious.  The Veggie Nests basically disintegrated and were pretty tasteless.  Would not recommend or buy them again.  Much better to use fresh Zucchini and cut it yourself.
