ZUCCHINI BOLOGNESE
MAKES 2-3 SERVINGS
Light zucchini noodles get the hearty treatment when topped with
meaty Bolognese sauce. The traditional Italian meat sauce takes a
while to simmer, but the end result is totally worth it. Make the sauce
on a weekend, then spiralize and cook your noodles on the day of for a
quick, easy weeknight meal.
Add onions, celery, and carrots
to a large pot over medium-
high heat. Sauté until tender,
about 8-10 minutes. Add beef,
breaking it up with the back of a
spoon and cook until browned,
about 10-15 minutes. Add wine
and bring to a boil for one
minute, stirring continuously to
scrape up any bits sticking to
the pot. Add 1 ½ cups of stock,
tomato paste, and the bay
leaf and stir to fully combine.
Reduce heat to low and simmer,
stirring occasionally, for 1½
hours to meld all of the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, heat 1 Tbsp.
Oil over medium-high heat.
Sauté zucchini noodles until
tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
Plate and top with Bolognese.
Add parmesan cheese, if desired.
