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

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

00:05I'm gonna show you how to lighten it up by swapping out the meats and sneaking in some

00:09extra veggies.

00:11I'm using turkey meat.

00:12I'm gonna do half dark ground meat and half ground turkey breast, which is really lean.

00:19I add to it one egg, frozen spinach, a little bit of parmesan, breadcrumbs, and water.

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

00:31I'm using my favorite jar of marinara sauce, but the other jar, I'm actually going to use

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

00:42Makes it even healthier.

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

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

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

00:57And look, it looks just like pasta.

01:00So I give the zucchini noodles a quick saute, and I like to add some brown rice noodles,

01:09just so it's not all zucchini.

01:11Still makes you feel like you're eating pasta.

01:14A little salt and pepper.

01:27It's all of the comfort without any of the guilt.
