Diets This all-veggie dish feels like a meal…without many calories at all. This recipe arose from my fleish-phobia (fear of eating meat and then not being able to eat dairy for six hours). Now I can have the satisfaction of a hearty meat sauce … with no worries of having meat. Hey, I can even sprinkle some Parm on top.

Looks so good! Does the sauce freeze well?
This t ype of sauce freezes beautifully!
If I don’t have a microwave, what can I do with the zoodles? Can I put them in the oven and for how long?
I would stir fry them for two to three minutes on the stovetop.
