Beyond Bland: The Zoodle Meal That Dietitians Love (3 of 6)

Step 2: The Powerhouse Sauce

This is where the magic happens. Sauté some ground turkey (or your favorite lean protein) until browned. While that sizzles, grab your favorite jar of tomato sauce—Rao’s is a great option, but feel free to experiment with different flavors! Here’s the twist: toss in some pre-cooked quinoa (it takes just 15 minutes to cook a cup) for a protein and fiber boost.

Step 3: Dinnertime Symphony

Combine the zoodles and your protein-packed sauce, and voila! A restaurant-worthy dish is ready in record time. Garnish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.

Bonus Tip: Leftovers are your friend! This dish warms up wonderfully, which makes it ideal for meal prep or speedy lunches during the week.
