Here is a link to the spiralizer I love!

In a saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add pasta and cook according to directions. In a skillet, brown ground beef then add the entire jar of pasta sauce and stir to combine. Meanwhile, cut ends off zucchini and spiralize to create zoodles, set aside. In another skillet, heat up 1 tbsp avocado oil on medium heat. Add in zoodles to skillet with avocado oil and season with pink salt and pepper. Using tongs, toss zucchini for 2-5 minutes until “raw” texture is removed and zoodles are slightly softened. Take off heat. DO NOT overcook, this will result in sogginess. In a shallow bowl, layer zucchini noodles, 1 cup protein pasta, and 1/4 of the meat mixture (about 4oz meat). Top with red chili fakes if you want a little kick!
