Zoodle Pastitso

Ingredients:

For the Main dish

  • 1 package of extra lean ground beef
  • 3 zucchinis made into zoodles
  • 4 sprigs of fresh basil
  • Half salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/8 cup of Pizza Nova sauce
  • 2 tsps of nutmeg
  • Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herbs
  • Olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • ¼ cup of Carbquick
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1-2 teaspoons parmasean cheese
  • 2 cups unsweeted almond milk

Directions:

  • Heat oven at 350F.
  • Sautee your ground beef. While its browning add chopped 2 springs of the fresh basil, some half salt, your nutmeg, pepper and Mrs. Dash to taste. When almost cooked, add your Pizza Nova sauce till cooked. Spread ground beef on the bottom of your casserole dish sprayed with Pam.
  • Add olive oil to your frying pan. Sautee your zoodles with some half salt, the rest of the springs of basil (chopped), pepper and Mrs. Dash till its sort of looking “al dente”. Spread that on top of your meat.
  • In a sauce pan on medium heat add around 3 tablespoons of olive oil (maybe 4) and your carbquick. Wisk your roux. Add 2 cups of your almond milk, your cheese and your nutmeg. Wisk till thickened. (It won’t be thick like a true béchamel sauce but it will be close enough). Pour the mixture evenly over your zoodles. Pop into the oven and cooked till brown on top.
