Zucchini Noodles with Bolognese Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, diced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups vodka marinara sauce
• 16 ounces zucchini noodles
• 1 cup baby spinach
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Incorporate mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and carrot; sauté until nicely browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Introduce garlic and cook until its aroma fills the air, around 1 minute. Add ground beef; cook, breaking it apart, until browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the meat mixture. Pour in your favorite vodka sauce, then reduce the heat to low. Toss in zucchini noodles, baby spinach, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the spinach wilts, the zucchini reaches your desired tenderness, and the sauce is thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes. Finish by adding oregano and basil.
3. Garnish with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
