Zucchini Bolognaise

August 7, 2019/in Freestyle Friday, Recipes /by The Twins

Serves: 4-6
Prep time: 20-25 mins

we really love turning our favorite dishes into low calorie dishes without going on a “cardboard” or “ice” diet. You can’t even tell that it’s not real pasta. Remember, don’t boil the zucchini pasta at all, it will become zucchini pap. If you like fresh vegetables like us, put raw zucchini pasta on your plate, pour hot Bolognaise sauce over and voila.

Ingredients:
2 Tbs Olive Oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
2 Tbs Minced Garlic
1 Red Chili, chopped
500g Beef Mince
1/4C Curry Paste
1 Red Pepper, chopped
500g Napoletana Pasta Sauce
500g Zucchini Pasta
1/4C Grated Parmesan Cheese

Method:
Heat oil on medium heat in a frying pan. Sauté onion and garlic till soft. Add in the chili and stir. Add mince, cook for 5-7 mins or until browned.
Add curry paste and cook for another 2 mins. Add the red pepper and pasta sauce. Simmer for 5 mins. Add the Zuchini pasta into the mince sauce.
Cook and stir for 1-2 mins.
Zuchini must still be a little crunchy.
Serve with Parmesan cheese.
