How to Make Zucchini Spaghetti

Place a large skillet on medium-high heat and cooked the beef. Add the black pepper in and stir until the beef has browned and crumbled. After 5 to 7 minutes, drain the excess fat and clean the skillet.
Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to the beef. Cook and keep stirring until the sauce has warmed, this takes 2 minutes. Now, add the tomato paste in.
Toss in the zucchini strands (the noodles) into the sauce, and submerge them in the sauce. Let it simmer on medium-low heat until the zucchini becomes soft, this takes 10 minutes.
