Low Carb Spaghetti Meat Sauce over Green Beans

This may seem like an odd combination, but if you enjoy green beans and have a love for spaghetti meat sauce, then this is a great meal for you!  It’s clean, healthy and delicious without adding the carb load that we normally get from eating big plates of pasta.

You can definitely cook up some noodles or pasta for the kids, but this is a great way to show that a meal can be delicious and nutritious while being low carb at the same time.

This is also a great meal for families that are trying to lose weight or  get a little healthier together.
