One Pot
Zucchini Bolognese
The formula
Ground beef + zucchini + tomato base + aged cheese
What you’ll need
- Ground beef
- Onion, diced
- Garlic, minced
- Tomato paste or sauce
- Zucchini
- Cream cheese (optional)
- Asiago or Parmesan cheese, grated
- Spices & seasonings: Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper
How to make it
- Sauté the onion and garlic in a large pot. Cook until softened.
- Add the ground beef, Italian seasonings, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned.
- Meanwhile, prepare zucchini into chunks, half-moons, or noodles. I prefer making noodles using a spiralizer.
- Stir in the tomato paste or sauce.
- Add the zucchini and cook until it reaches the texture you like.
- Stir in the cream cheese if using.
- Finish with Asiago or Parmesan cheese, then taste and adjust the seasonings.
Make it your own
- Cook the zucchini briefly if you want it firm.
- Add cream cheese when you want a richer sauce.
