Keto Zucchini Ziti







     If you are hankering for a savory "sumthin sumthin", then Keto Zucchini Ziti takes the cake...errr, the pasta, (Zucchini can transform into anything).  This one hits all the high notes.  Each of the 8 servings are only 462 calories, 11.9g carbs, 2g fiber, 9.9g net carbs (if you want to reduce the carbs then you can reduce the Sauce, or reduce the serving size), 39g protein and 31g fat.  Serve with steamed Broccoli and a side Green Salad and you have a perfect meal on your hands.  :)

Ingredients for 8 servings~
1 pound 85% lean ground Beef
1 pound ground Chicken (sub with additional Beef, Turkey or Pork)
1 small diced Onion
1 chopped Garlic
Dash Cayenne
Salt to taste
2 medium sliced and halved Zucchini
25oz San Marzano Pasta Sauce (sub with favorite)
2 Extra Large Eggs
2 cups Cottage Cheese
2 cups shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup Parmesan

     Add Beef, Chicken, Onion, Garlic, Cayenne and Salt til cooked thru, then add Zucchini til softened, drain very well as Zucchini produces a lot of liquid (this is your Pasta replacement), then stir in Sauce.  Meanwhile, stir together Eggs, Cottage Cheese and Mozzarella.  Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray, add half meat mixture to bottom, top with half cheese mixture, repeat and top with Parmesan.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or til golden brown.  Garnish with Green Onions or Parsley if desired.  Enjoy  :)
