Clean Recipe - Courgetti Bolognese!

This is a really tasty recipe and trust me you will not miss the spaghetti - said by a former pasta addict! 




For the Courgetti

  • 1 large courgette (half a courgette per person)
  • Spiralizer (I bought mine from Lakeland)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
For the Bolognese
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 red onion - diced
  • 1 red pepper/capsicum - diced
  • 2 400g packs of 95% lean minced beef (grass fed)
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 3 fresh tomatoes - chopped
  • 1 beef stock cube (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp agave syrup/honey/coconut palm sugar


Method

  • Heat 1 tsp of coconut oil in a pan and add the chopped onion - fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic, chili powder and the red pepper, fry for another 2-3 minutes and then put the ingredients aside in a bowl.
  • Fry the minced beef in the pan until brown, then strain off any liquid. 
  • Add in the cooked onion and peppers, the canned and fresh tomatoes, the stock cube and let simmer
  • Add in the remaining ingredients - balsamic vinegar, natural sweetener and some pepper if desired (there is no need for salt as the stock cube is high in salt) 
  • Let simmer on a low heat for 10-15 minutes to let the mixture reduce - this is an important step as we do not want the mixture to be too liquid and run off the plate and it also intensifies the flavors. 
  • Wash and chop each end off the courgette and place into the spiral-er. Heat 1 tsp coconut oil in a pan and once hot fry the courgette for 4-5 minutes to soften.
