"Clean and bright! Zucchini noodles topped with Lentil Bolognese that rocks. Delicious one bowl meal. It's great to be home! (I'm thinking a drizzle of syrupy balsamic would be delicious with this, too. But, I ate it, so will have to wait for next time!). Pile it on zoodles with Parmesan and eat!!! "
