Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bolognese Sauce:

  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Zucchini Noodles:
    • Spiralize or slice zucchinis into noodle shapes.
    • Place on a towel, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10–15 minutes to remove excess water.
  2. Cook Zoodles:
    • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Add zoodles and sauté for 2–3 minutes until tender but not mushy.
    • Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Make Bolognese Sauce:
    • Heat oil in the same pan. Sauté onion for 2 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
    • Add ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
    • Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, and chili flakes. Simmer for 15 minutes.
    • Mix in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    • Add cooked zoodles to the sauce, tossing gently to coat. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.
    • Serve with extra Parmesan and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

 

Notes

  • For firmer noodles, avoid overcooking zoodles.
  • Swap ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add veggies like mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor.
