Preparation

Step 1

To make the Bolognese sauce. In a large pan (or pot) heat olive oil. Add the meat and cook for 4 minutes, breaking it down with a wooden spoon, to crumble while cooking.

Step 2

Add the onion, salt, garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, sweetener. Add the tomato paste and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon stir and press the tomatoes to break into smaller pieces.

Step 3

Cook uncovered for 20-25 more minutes on medium-low heat, until the sauce is thick and tomatoes are cooked and tender, stirring occasionally. The longer you cook the meat and tomatoes together, the better the sauce will taste.

Step 4

Spiralize zucchini or bake spaghetti squash. You can cook the zucchini in a pan with a little bit of oil for 3 - 5 minutes or serve them raw)

Step 5

Serve zucchini of spaghetti squash pasta with the Bolognese sauce and top with cheese.
