Ideal Protein Rotini with Tomato Sauce

I like having this recipe as a lunch option.  If I add meatballs to the sauce, then I will make this more for dinner.

Ingredients:

Can of Tomato Sauce with No Salt Added
A couple packets of Stevia
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder
Basil
Chili Powder(if you want to add some spice)



Put the tomato sauce in a pot and add the rest of the seasonings. 

Let the sauce simmer. 

Cook the Ideal Protein rotini according to the instructions on the back of the packet.

Keep the leftover tomato sauce in a Tupperware or bowl for future quick meals.  Then you just have to cook up the IP rotini and add the sauce for another meal.

I have also made Keto and IP friendly meatballs so you could also add meatballs to this if you want to add your protein in during whichever meal you are eating.

Spaghetti Zoodles or Stir Fry Zoodles

Image
I recently was given a cool pearl about zucchini.  You can make zoodles out of zucchini.  How cool is that!!!  So my understanding is that places like Trader Joes will sell frozen zoodles, but I decided to just buy the zucchini fresh and spiralize them.  My younger daughter loves to spiralize the zucchini.  This is the spiralizer I purchased, and I love it. Things to Note:  After the zucchini are spiralized, put then between 2 paper towels...arranging them across the paper towel.  Leave them for at least 30 minutes to dry out so the water gets absorbed as much as possible.  Then you can just stir fry them up on a pan.  Sometimes I spray the pan with olive oil Pam spray..sometimes not.  It doesn't really matter. This is great for making stir fry's or just use the zoodles as the noodle base for your favorite spaghetti sauce. Another awesome option!!! Before After
