Here’s an easy weeknight meal or a great meal to make for your meal prep. You can let the sauce cook for as long or as little as you’d like depending on how much time you have.

It makes such a difference in making your food look and taste super pretty! If your family isn’t into the whole zoodle thing, saute zoodles separately for you, and make them some pasta to eat with the meat sauce 😉

Don’t forget topping meat dishes with fresh herbs and citrus juice, cilantro and lime in this case, can take a dish from ordinary to extraordinary!
