As always, lightly saute ground beef beforehand with Italian seasoning mix and garlic to give it that brown and more extra flavor. If you don’t have Italian mix on hand, replace it with some sage, thyme, oregano, or similar; then add a bit of salt and ground pepper.

I would typically use unsalted butter to saute ground beef, but olive oil works just as well.

For pasta sauce, a simple tomato puree and herb or store-bought jar will be sufficed. However, a homemade tomato pasta sauce definitely yields better flavor, more fresh and bold per se.

Finally, for the shredded cheese, anything would work really. I just use a mixture of Colby-jack, cheddar, or similar. But to up it a knot, after baking I would add some extra Romano, Parmesan, or those imported cheeses.

The flavor will be just fine when consuming this dish alone, sine the zucchini noodle makes it quite fulfilling. However, if you don’t mind the grain, go ahead and add extra crumbs or bread slices.
