The question I get asked a lot on Instagram is do I eat carbs? The answer is 100% YESS, carbs are LIFE. However, I am also that girl who craves all the vegetables and prefer sometimes eating all the veggies over carbs. It is all about listening to your body and giving it what it wants, our bodies definitely know best.

This spaghetti squash or zoodle “pasta” bowls is one of my go to’s when I am craving Italian food but not the heavy addition of pasta. You can either make this dish with spaghetti squash “pasta” or spiralize some zucchini to create some zoodles.

This is what I will prep on Sunday to have this all ready for the week:

  1. Prepare the ground sausage mixture and place in a tupperware
  2. Spiralize my zucchini’s and place raw in my airtight container, this will last about 4-5 days if you keep the zoodles raw
  3. I will steam my spaghetti squash in my instant pot and shred to form the “pasta” and place in a tupperware

The night I plan on having this for dinner, I simply take my zoodles and add to a pan with some oil and cook a few minutes until they get soft. I then top with my ground sausage mixture I heated in the same pan, and you have a 5 minute dinner prep for your busy weeknights.

I do the same for the spaghetti squash “pasta” bowl. I will reheat the spaghetti squash in a pan with some oil for a couple minutes, in the same pan to the side I will reheat the ground sausage mixture.
