Servings: 1
Ingredients
Directions
Tips
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 red onion, finely diced
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
-
1 lbs ground beef
-
2 cups diced tomatoes, diced
-
½ cup tomato paste
-
4 large zucchini
-
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
-
Add the red onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until they've softened.
-
Add the meat and cook for a further 5 minutes or until browned. Break up any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon.
-
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato passata. Stir well and bring to the boil, then gently reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
-
Meanwhile, using a vegetable spiraliser or vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini (skin on) into thin, noodle-like strips (zoodles). Set them aside in a sieve over a large bowl. Alternately, use pre-bought zoodles.
-
To serve, toss the zoodles through the Bolognese sauce and top with Parmesan and fresh basil.
