Made in the kitchen of college kids trying to eat better, this recipe uses zucchini instead of pasta to make it lighter and healthier and no ricotta cheese!

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini , sliced lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 tablespoon salt , or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil , or more as needed
  • 0.5 medium onion , diced
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium potato , diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper , diced
  • 1 , 26 ounce

    Salt zucchini slices on a plate and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes while you dice the rest of the ingredients.

    Heat a large skillet or wide pot over high heat. Add oil, onion, and garlic, and sauté until the onion gets a little brown and becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, potato, and bell pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
