• Beef: This recipe calls for ground beef, but you can use ground turkey for a lighter take. 
• Fresh produce: Aside from the zucchini, you’ll also need a green bell pepper, an onion, and mushrooms from the produce aisle. 
• Frozen spinach: Frozen spinach is a convenient, colorful, and nutrient-rich ingredient. 
• Tomato products: A combination tomato paste and tomato sauce. 
• Wine: Red wine enhances the overall flavor. 
• Cheese: You’ll need low-fat ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
