Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blanched almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Dust a clean surface with a bit of tapioca starch. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into small rectangles and pinch the centers to form bowtie shapes. Set aside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the bowtie pasta and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the top and are tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Break the meat into small pieces with a spatula.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the bowtie pasta topped with the meat sauce and garnish with fresh basil.
