Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- to taste Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Start by preparing the zucchini noodles. Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into spiral-cut noodles, then set aside.
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the pan, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Break up any large chunks with a wooden spoon.
Once the beef is cooked through, add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the pan. Stir to combine.
Season the sauce with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld.
While the sauce is simmering, quickly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil for about 2-3 minutes until just tender, then remove from heat.
Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the tomato meat sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil.
Enjoy your Keto Classic Tomato Spaghetti, mindful of your carb count and keto diet plan.
