Zucchini Pasta

Ingredients List

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

• 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

• 1 tablespoon salt, or more to taste

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon ground thyme

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

• 3 zucchini, cut into long strands

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef with black pepper, stirring occasionally, until crumbly and browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.

2. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and red pepper flakes to the beef. Stir and cook until the sauce is heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste.

3. Add the zucchini noodles to the sauce, pressing them down to submerge fully. Simmer on medium-low until the zucchini softens, about 10 minutes.
