00:00 Spaghetti and meatballs, it's the ultimate comfort dish.

00:03 But let's be honest, it's not exactly diet.

00:05 I'm gonna show you how to lighten it up

00:07 by swapping out the meats and sneaking in some extra veggies.

00:11 I'm using turkey meat.

00:12 I'm gonna do half dark ground meat

00:15 and half ground turkey breast, which is really lean.

00:19 I add to it one egg, frozen spinach,

00:23 a little bit of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and water.

00:28 This is what's going to help keep it really moist.

00:31 I'm using my favorite jar of marinara sauce.

00:35 But the other jar, I'm actually going to use a sauce

00:37 that has butternut, squash, and pumpkin in it.

00:42 Makes it even healthier.

00:45 Just roll them into balls and pop them in the sauce.

00:49 Here's how I make the zucchini noodles, or zoodles.

00:52 I just use a zucchini and a spiralizer.

00:56 And look, it looks just like pasta.

01:00 So I give the zucchini noodles a quick saute.

01:04 And I like to add some brown rice noodles,

01:08 just so it's not all zucchini.

01:10 Still makes you feel like you're eating pasta.

01:14 Salt and pepper.
