Ingredients:  
1 large zucchini
1 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
10 ounces ground beef
1 TBSP Italian Seasoning

Directions:
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

2. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

3. Halve, peel and dice onion.

4. Mince garlic.

5. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and season with half the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Turn off heat, drain excess grease, transfer beef to plate.

6. Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Carefully scoop out and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (3/4 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

7. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan used for beef over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and onion. Cook, stirring, until softened, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and remaining Italian seasoning. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

8. Add beef, tomatoes, stock concentrate, and reserved pasta water to pan with veggies. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until thick and saucy. If mixture begins to stick to bottom, add a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

9. Stir in 1 TBSP of butter.

10. Add spaghetti and garlic herb butter to pan with ragł and toss to combine. Divide between plates. Sprinkle with parmesan and chili flakes.
