It was supposed to be cold, rainy and (hopefully) snowy over the weekend so I thought a good time to make some meat sauce and try over zucchini noodles using my new toy!<\/p>\n
Ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 pounds ground beef – I used organic, grass fed 85\/15% Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef, shallot, and garlic. Cook and stir until the meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n 2. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.\u00a0Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, chicken broth, red wine, Italian seasoning, basil, salt, and black pepper.<\/p>\n 3. cook on low for 8 hours.<\/p>\n Noodles:<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously you can use real pasta (mmmmmm) but I wanted to try zucchini noodles! SUPER EASY! First step – bought the\u00a0Paderno Spiralizer 3-Blade from Williams Sonoma. Sure, sure…you can slice them manually but I know that I won’t do that and like kitchen tools :)<\/p>\n Once you have spiralized the zucchinis (2) heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and cook\/stir in the noodles so they are all coated in the oil. Then add in about 1\/4 cup of water and cook until the zucchini is softened, about 8-10 mins or so. Season with a bit of salt and pepper as you stir occasionally. \u00a0You want the water soaked up by the noodles.<\/p>\n Then pour some sauce over your noodles and sprinkle some parmesan over it and YUM!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was supposed to be cold, rainy and (hopefully) snowy over the weekend so I thought a good time to make some meat sauce and try over zucchini noodles using my new toy!
