Zucchini Bolognese is a light and nutritious take on the traditional Italian meat sauce. Originating from Italy, Bolognese is typically a rich blend of ground meat, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. In this version, zucchini is spiralized or chopped to serve as the base, replacing pasta for a lower-carb option. Packed with fresh vegetables, lean ground meat or plant-based substitutes, and olive oil, it provides a balanced mix of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like potassium and vitamin C. Tomatoes bring in antioxidants like lycopene, while zucchini adds hydration and nutrients with minimal calories. This dish is ideal for those seeking a healthier alternative to classic pasta dishes while maintaining hearty flavors. Be mindful of added cheese or oils, which can increase calorie and fat content. Perfect for gluten-free or low-carb diets, Zucchini Bolognese offers a guilt-free taste of Italian cuisine.
