You've Got to Try These Tasty Zucchini Recipes

7. Zoodles Bolognese

If you’re trying to cut down on carbohydrates, then you probably already know that zucchini makes a great noodle substitute. This recipe combines your classic bolognese sauce with zucchini noodles, also known as zoodles.

To prepare this dish, make a bolognese sauce by sauteing yellow onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic in olive oil. Add one pound of ground beef and cook until browned. Add crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the beef is cooked and vegetables are tender.

For the noodles, use a spiralizer or slice the zucchini by hand to make large flat noodles, similar to tagliatelle or pappardelle. Steam the zoodles until tender or spoon the bolognese sauce straight onto them raw. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve hot!
