A creation from my hubby (the king of flavours) – a low-carb/ high protein hearty Bolognese. The zoodles add great texture and you will not even miss the pasta. Zucchini are low in calories (approximately 17 calories per 100 g) and contains significant folate, potassium and provitamin A.
- Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 500g grass fed lean beef mince

- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup mushroom, diced

- 3-4 zucchini
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or alternatively combine the following fresh herbs- Basil, Oregano, Garlic, Thyme, Onion and Parsley, with salt and pepper to taste)
Method:
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick fry pan on medium heat and add the onion.
- Add the mince and cook until lightly browned.
