Serves: 2

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 17 minutes

Stage: 1 | 2

Ingredients
8 oz lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 cups spiralized zucchini (if using frozen, defrost and drain first)
2 cups diced tomatoes (or canned diced tomatoes)
1 cup low sodium beef broth 
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1 TBSP olive oil

Instructions

1. Spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break up any large pieces, until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, zucchini and tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
3. Add the broth, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Divide between 2 serving bowls, drizzle each with half of the olive oil and serve.
