Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Spiralizer
  • Pot for boiling water
  • Colander

Ingredients

Bolognese Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped about 1 cup/150g
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef 453g
  • ½ pound ground pork 227g
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 14.5 oz/411g
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste 30g
  • ½ cup beef broth 120 ml
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Zucchini Spaghetti

  • 4 medium zucchinis about 2 pounds/907g
  • 1 tablespoon salt for salting water

Instructions

  • Start by making the Bolognese sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook, breaking apart the meat with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, oregano, and basil. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini spaghetti. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt. Blanch the zucchini noodles for 1 minute, then drain and set aside.
  • Serve the hot Bolognese sauce over the zucchini spaghetti. Garnish with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
