A leaner take on a classic spaghetti bolognese 🍝 High in protein, full of hidden veg, and on the table in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients (serves 4)
500g lean beef mince (5% fat)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, grated
2 courgettes, grated
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp mixed herbs
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Spaghetti, or courgetti for a low carb swap
Method✨
Brown the mince in a dry non-stick pan, breaking it up as you go, 5-6 minutes. Drain off any fat.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the carrot and courgette, and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the tomatoes, purée, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook your spaghetti according to the pack instructions and serve the sauce on top.
Low carb swap: Spiralise 2 courgettes per person and sauté in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes until just tender, don't overcook or it goes watery. Spoon the bolognese straight on top, just like normal spaghetti.
Perfect for the whole family 👨👩👧
