Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 c yellow onion, diced
- 4 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 lb ground chuck
- 1 (32 oz) jar pasta sauce
- 2 lb zucchini noodles
- Grated Pecorino Romano
- Fresh Basil
Directions
In a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat, add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, onion, garlic and salt and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions soften and start to brown. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and ground chuck, and cook until the beef has browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any grease that’s collected in the skillet.
Add the entire jar of tomato sauce to the pan and stir to combine, scraping any caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. The sauce is finished when it becomes thick and does not spread after stirring.
Reduce heat to low and add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing to incorporate them into the sauce, 2-3 minutes, just to warm through. Serve family-style, in a large bowl, and garnish with grated Pecorino Romano and fresh basil.

I saw this and it just sounded hearty, but low-carb with some extra nutrition from the zoodles. It has great, traditional flavor without a lot of effort or mess! I did add some fresh basil and parsley though.
So yummy! This was my first time making zoodles and it was awesome. I am a carbaholic but I didn’t miss the traditional pasta with this dish. Quick, healthy, and delicious.
My daughter introduced me to zoodles when I was visiting. I ran right out and got my own zoodle machine. This recipe was simple and quick and so delicious. I paired it with a cheesy garlic keto bread. We don't miss the carbs.
I love this! I do this with frozen ravioli too! I add an extra cup or two of ricotta cheese the last few minutes and steam it in ice cream scoop sizes on top before serving! Tastes like homemade!
easy & great!
Love this recipe. Will become a repeated favorite! I did not use as much garlic, and liked it better.
Excellente!!
This was easy to make. I prepared it early in the day, leaving out the "noodles" until shortly before dinner time so as to retain a little firmness. This would be perfect for pot luck dinners.
This is excellent. After making it this way a few times, I decided to go all natural and make homemade sauce too. We love the zoodles, but change up the meat, using either ground round or a mix of Italian sweet and hot sausages.
Stir in some roasted Hatch Green Chili when adding the Zoodles to add a little more kick to the taste of this simple dish.
WOW...this is delicious.
Awesome recipe and so easy and quick
This was excellent. I thought it called for too much zucchini but I was wrong. My husband said 'let's have this again".
I’m on a Keto diet and this is a perfect and delicious Keto recipe. Very low carbs. I substituted Rao’s spaghetti sauce for tomato sauce, as there is less sugar and carbs in it. But, either one works. More Keto friendly recipes, please.
Made this with chicken instead of beef. It was delicious
This is excellent. Fast and easy to make and very tasty. You feel good after eating it. Note that most pasta sauces are sold in 24 oz jars not 32 oz. so pay attention to that . Definitely a repeat recipe.
This is so easy and has a delicious robust flavor; I've added it to my recipe rotation. I love the zoodles but hubby does not so I make Banza (chickpea pasta) for him.
Absolutely delicious!! Great flavor! Did not feel stuffed like I can feel after eating pasta! Glad I was warned about the ounces in most pasta jars also, or there would not have been enough sauce. Hoping for more Keto recipes! Thanks!
Made this last night and it was incredible! Kids even loved it. I also added some sweet Italian sausage to make it a little more meatier. Kids begged me to make it again!
Very, very good and very easy.
Delicious!!
Easy, healthy and delicious! I’m not the greatest cook, so was thrilled when I made this recipe and it came out perfectly!!’ More easy recipes like this please!
Quick, easy and delicious.
Yum!
Surprised my wife with this new twist on spaghetti and she loved it!!! I did too! Our usual Rao’s sauce tasted even better with the onions and garlic added!!! Will make this again (and again!)
I was looking for an Italian dish that would fit in my calorie budget, and the Fresh Market came to the rescue with Zoodles with Bolognese Sauce. Not only is it diet-friendly, but also very delicious and satisfying.
This recipe gave me the push I needed to open my 4 year old Veggetti maker. It worked like a charm! The recipe was sooo easy to prepare. My friends and family love this dish! So much more healthy than using pasta. Thanks Fresh Market
Great quick weekday meal.
Zoodles in sauce were great. My husband doesn’t really like dishes like this but trying to eliminate processed foods from dlet.He even ate leftovers for lunch. Make sure to stir zoodles through the sauce. Only drawback is that zoodles are pricy.
Great low carb recipe. Love that it is offered while Fresh Market ground chuck is on sale - thanks!
Fabulous
Delicious and easy.
This is an easy, quick, and absolutely delicious meal---a keeper!
This recipe is So Easy & very delicious
So easy and the whole family likes it.
Healthy quick recipe for a night when you do not have time to cook. It tasted great and we did not miss the pasta! thanks fresh market!
Hubby really liked and requested that I keep this recipe. Look forward to make for grandkids
This is a great healthy meal and easy to fix. Not to mention absolutely delicious as well! This is now on my list of “go to” healthy dishes!
Absolutely delicious!
Loved this with the zucchini noodles. Makes a light delicious meal.
Never missed the pasta. On my list of favorites
Delicious recipes. One of my favorites.
Keto friendly thanks
Made this for my daughter who is on Keto... It was amazing and she loved it.... It makes quite a bit and using it as a left over the zoodles were very limp and not enjoyable. The next time I make it - I will leave the zoodles out and only use what is needed for that serving. But otherwise it was a great dinner !!
Perfect!
Sounds wonderful!
Great, easy recipe for week night dinner
great!!
Easy, perfect, and delicious! A crowd pleaser.
Outstanding, easy. Full of flavor.
This dish is great for a weekday meal. We enjoyed it on Tuesday. The flavors were excellent and the zucchini noodles were excellent on top. The preparation was easy and the meal was tasty and attractive. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Great easy recipe for a quick family meal. No take out needed!
The chuck can be greasy so we prefer a leaner type of meat as cooking in the red sauce even after draining leads to more grease. Also the zoodles will be very limp and inedible if u try to eat them as leftovers. Suggest removing any leftover zoodles and grinding up and putting back in pot and using leftover gravy on its own.
Awesome recipe!
Recipe very easy and tasty!!!!
