Ingredients

  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1 28 oz-can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsps tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 medium zucchini
  • Olive oil for sauteing
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat oil and cook ground beef until the meat is browned. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in wine, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened.
  • Add a little water if the sauce is too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, cut zucchini into noodles using either a julienne peeler or spiralizer. Pat dry with paper towel.
  • Saute zoodles in a large skillet over medium high heat with olive oil for 1 to 2 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve bolognese sauce over cooked zoodles and garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

*Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken if you prefer a lighter sauce.
