Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 16 oz Shirataki noodles (konjac root-based)
- 0.5 Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the shirataki noodles according to the package instructions, which usually involves rinsing and boiling them for a few minutes to reduce the natural konjac flavor. Drain well and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook it until it is nicely browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes (with their juices), salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the prepared shirataki noodles into the beef mixture, stirring everything to combine thoroughly. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the noodles through and allow them to absorb some of the sauce.
Before serving, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy this comforting, keto-friendly meal!
