Lindsey’s Suggestions

1. Pancetta – Okay, I do know this isn’t conventional, however we like it. You possibly can skip it, simply add a tablespoon of olive oil to saute the onion as a substitute. Or, sub in bacon sliced into 1/2″ items.
2. Beef – you should utilize floor turkey as a substitute. If that’s the case, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan first.
3. Dry pink wines embrace malbec, merlot, cabernet, pinot noir, and syrah.
4. Zucchini noodles – searching for a zucchini noodle substitute? Attempt edamame noodles or spaghetti squash. Personally, I’m not a fan of shirataki noodles until they’re cooked/sauteed. 
5. How a lot to prepare dinner the zoodles? That is completely as much as you. Personally, I’m not a fan of al dente zucchini noodles, so I prepare dinner them for round 2 minutes. However there’s a effective line between cooked and soggy! Watch rigorously, and make sure you follow the 30-second intervals.
