Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Add ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer on low heat for about 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Optionally, add red wine and let it cook off, or simply omit it to keep the carb count lower. 2. **Prepare the "pasta"**: If using **zucchini noodles**, spiralize 2-3 medium zucchinis or purchase pre-spiralized zucchini noodles from the store. Sauté zucchini noodles in a pan with a bit of olive oil for 2–3 minutes until they’re tender but still slightly firm (al dente). If using **Shirataki noodles**, rinse them well to remove the odor, then dry them on a paper towel. Sauté them in a pan for 3–5 minutes to remove excess moisture. 3. **Serve**: Plate your zucchini or Shirataki noodles and top them with the Bolognese sauce. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan or mozzarella cheese for added flavor and texture. Why This is Keto-Friendly: **No pasta**: Regular pasta is high in carbs. By replacing it with zucchini noodles or Shirataki noodles, you're dramatically lowering the carb count, making it keto-friendly. **Tomatoes**: Although tomatoes have some natural sugars, they are low in carbs, so they can still be enjoyed in moderation on a keto diet. **Avoid sugar**: Many pasta sauces contain hidden sugars. By using crushed tomatoes and tomato paste without added sugar, you're keeping the sauce keto-approved. Nutritional Breakdown (Approximate per serving): **Calories**: 350–450 (depending on whether you use ground beef or turkey and if you add cheese) **Carbs**: 8–12 grams (mainly from the tomatoes and zucchini noodles) **Fat**: 25–30 grams **Protein**: 25–30 grams This keto version of Spaghetti Bolognese keeps the heartiness and flavor of the traditional recipe while minimizing carbs, making it a great low-carb meal option!
