I don’t know about you, but I grew up eating spaghetti. This was one meal that my mom never had to convince us to eat. Now spaghetti is a little different without the noodles of course, but zucchini noodles make a reasonable, grain free, alternative.

Now I have to warn you that there is a lot of chopping involved in this recipe so give yourself some time!

Now you may have a few questions.

Olives? Yep olives. Trust me they are GOOD in spaghetti! And for those of you who don’t like olives, well first of all, what is wrong with you? But second, don’t knock them until you try them in this sauce! If you still hate them then I have no words.

And yes I cook the meat in the same pot that I cook the sauce. This way you keep the flavour from the meat fat! Some of you may still be scared of eating too much fat. Now when fats have been linked to atheroscerosis and heart disease, it has been milk fat that has consistently shown this link. Hunter gatherer societies that exist today obtain the majority of their protein from animal fats and they have much lower rates of heart disease and ill health. I promise to write a post discussing just this issue in the future… but for now you will just have to take my word for it!

As always I would be thrilled if you visited

    Most people are still horrified that we cook with bacon fat and eat so much meat. I feel so much better though, so it works for me! I like meat better than sugary treats anyway! woohoo zucchini noodles!

    Oh I know… the looks I get from people when I tell them what I eat! And I agree… the less you eat sugar the less you miss it! I definitely crave more meat now instead…and my poor zucchini noodles are quite sad in this post since I just had to cut them with my knife! Limited tools on the road thats for sure!
