Ingredients

  • 2 cups zucchini or yellow squash noodles, flat circles cut

  • 1 pound ground turkey, buffalo, or beef

  • 1 large bell pepper, deseeded and diced

  • 1 package taco seasoning mix

  • 1 14.5-oz. can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes

  • ½ cup water

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese (or use “Mexican blend)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a large skillet brown the meat, onion, and green pepper until the meat is cooked through.
  • Add the canned tomatoes (including the juice) the water, and the taco seasoning.
  • Simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While simmering the meat, spiralize the Zucchini into flat ribbons using blade 3 on the Paderno (or thick strands using blade 2 on the Veggetti). Pat the noodles with paper towels to soak out some of the moisture.
  • Coat a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Place half the noodles in the dish, add half the chili mixture, and cover with half the cheese.
  • Add another layer of noodles, chili and cheese with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately.
