Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 28 oz peeled whole tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp basil
  • 2 tsp sweetener erythritol for Keto, sugar for non keto
  • 2 tsp salt more to taste
  • 3 oz red wine optional
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 6 zucchini spiralized
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • To make the Bolognese sauce:
  • In a large pan (or pot) heat olive oil. Add the meat and cook for 4 minutes, breaking it down with a wooden spoon, to crumble while cooking.
  • Add the onion, salt, garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sweetener. Add the tomato paste and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Using a wooden spoon stir and press the tomatoes to break into smaller pieces.
  • Cook uncovered for 20-25 more minutes on medium-low heat, until the sauce it thick and tomatoes are cooked and tender, stirring occasionally. The longer you cook the meat and tomatoes together, the better the sauce will taste.
  • Spiralize zucchini (alternatively use regular or low-carb pasta). (You can cook the zucchini in a pan with a little bit of oil for 3-5 minutes or serve them raw).
  • Serve zucchini noodles with the Bolognese sauce and topped with cheese.
