An entire plate of this hearty zoodle and meat sauce recipes contains ZERO grains which means it’s a filling meal without the carb bloat, satisfying both Whole30 and 2B Mindset eating plans. This makes it a great option for both a 2B Mindset lunch and dinner.

If you choose it for lunch, you can even add an FFC (Fiber Filled Carb) to give you a little more sustained energy for your afternoon. If you decide to have it for dinner, you are set. Dinner and done! This sauce is loaded with extra veggies to get you to that 75% veggies, 25% protein ratio for a perfect 2B Mindset dinner.

It’s also really easy to prepare with ingredients you can keep in your pantry, plus a few fresh veggies that any healthy fridge should be stocked with. A little hint: you can even add leftover veggies from last night’s dinner.

Zoodles and Meat Sauce Recipe Directions

Preparation tip: Zoodles, especially frozen ones, have high water content. Before you prep, the meat sauce with veggies, set your zoodles aside in a large bowl lined with paper towels. Salt the zoodles just a bit to draw out any excess water, and let them sit until you are ready to heat them up.

Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and onion and cook over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add the ground beef or turkey, salt, and pepper to taste and brown for about another 4 minutes.

When meat is just about browned, add the fresh basil leaves and stir until wilted.

Remove the skillet from heat and drain off any liquids. Pour the seasoned meat mixture into a large dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.

Combine the canned tomatoes, carrots, roasted peppers, spinach, and Italian seasoning in a blender or food processor and blend until mostly smooth.

Add the blended veggies to the pot with the seasoned meat. Stir to combine all ingredients.  Simmer over medium to medium-high heat for about 35 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, use paper towels to blot the zoodles dry. You can heat them up gently in a non-stick skillet (about 3 minutes, medium-high) or the microwave (45 seconds).

Divide the zoodles into serving dishes and top with meat sauce with veggies.

Leftovers Tip: Extra sauce will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated or frozen for later use.  Zoodles do not keep well. Try to prepare just enough for immediate use.
