Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis. Set aside the zoodles.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, heat another skillet over medium heat and add a small splash of olive oil. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Taste the meat sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the sauce over the bed of zucchini noodles.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped basil before serving.
