Kids’ plate: Beef and Zucchini Spaghetti

On the plate: Mild beef and zucchini tossed with gluten-free spaghetti, before the extra sage is stirred in.

Make it a game: Make a little spaghetti nest and tuck zucchini moons inside. Can each forkful find a piece of beef?

Set it aside at step 4, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
