Try it because baby you will love it!
Recipe:
Ingredients-
20 oz Lean ground turkey
26oz Jar/can pasta sauce
2x 8oz bags of Tofu shirataki noodle substitute
8oz bag of weight watcher shredded cheese
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon Italian spices (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper (or to taste, optional)
Directions:
Brown ground turkey with chopped garlic, Italian spices, and crushed red pepper. Once it is cooked add the pasta sauce and simmer for at least 10min. Rinse the shirataki noodles and squeeze as much of the water out as you can. Microwave the noodles for 1 to 2 min then drain any more water that seeps out. Add the noodles to sauce and mix all together. Put in 8x8 pan and cover the top with the entire bag of cheese. Bake for 350 degrees for 45min. Let cool for about 10min, makes 6 servings.
