I love an old fashion Spaghetti Bolognese with a lot of Parmesan cheese and ketchup but with my choice of diet it’s been a while. So this evening I decided I would make a low carb version and it really hit home.

Bolognese

500 grams or 1 lbs. Minced Beef

250 grams or ½ lbs. Smoked Hickory Bacon

1 Chopped Yellow onion

2 Chopped Garlic Cloves

250 grams ½ lbs. Button Mushrooms

1 can of Tomato Sauce

1 tablespoon Oxfond or Better than Bouillon

Fresh Tarragon

Fresh Thyme

Salt and Pepper

 Zucchini Pasta

1-2 Zucchini

½ Chopped Red Chili

1 Chopped Garlic Clove

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Ketchup

¼ cup Tomato Paste

1 chopped Garlic clove

1 tablespoon Olive oil

Pinch of Cinnamon

Almost ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar

Chili Flakes

Salt & Pepper

Mix all the ingredients for the Ketchup in a bowl.

How To: Start frying the minced beef in a frying a pan when the meat as a browning to it rinse off the excess liquid. Add the onion and garlic and let it fry for a minute or two before adding the tomato sauce and bouillon. Season the sauce with the fresh tarragon, thyme, salt and pepper and let it simmer under a lid, you may have to add water if you think it is becoming to dry. In a different frying pan fry the bacon till it is crispy, rinse off the fat and dry off the bacon with a paper towel before adding to sauce.

Shred the zucchini and start with frying the chili and garlic in a wok (if you have one). Add the Zucchini and fry it for another 3-4 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
