Zucchini Spaghetti and Meat Sauce Recipe
Zoodles: A Healthy Twist to Traditional Spaghetti
Redding Integrative Medicine welcomes you to a delectable journey into the world of zucchini spaghetti, also known as zoodles. If you are trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet or looking for a gluten-free alternative to pasta, zoodles are the perfect choice.
Zoodles are made by spiralizing fresh zucchini into long, noodle-like strands. These low-calorie, nutrient-rich noodles provide a satisfying texture and can be a fantastic base for sauces, just like traditional spaghetti.
The Benefits of Zucchini Spaghetti
By replacing regular pasta with zucchini spaghetti, you can enjoy numerous health benefits. Zucchini is an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps boost your immune system and supports collagen production for healthy skin. It is also packed with fiber, promoting digestive health and aiding in weight management.
Zucchini is rich in antioxidants, such as carotenoids and lutein, which protect your body from harmful free radicals and promote eye health. Additionally, this versatile vegetable contains minerals like potassium and manganese, contributing to heart health and overall vitality.
Delicious Meat Sauce to Complement Your Zoodles
No zucchini spaghetti is complete without a flavorful meat sauce. Redding Integrative Medicine offers you a superb recipe that combines the goodness of grass-fed meat with wholesome ingredients to create a delectable sauce that perfectly complements your zoodles.

- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 1 can crushed tomatoes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
