Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 diced Red bell pepper
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Start by preparing the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create noodles from the zucchini. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and remove beef from the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Let the sauce simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the sauce simmers, in a separate large pan, sauté the zucchini noodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but not mushy.
Once the sauce is ready, mix in the fresh basil leaves.
Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the beef sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy your Keto Hearty Beef Pasta immediately while hot and flavorful.
