• 14 ounces can of diced tomatoes
• 1 cup beef broth

• 4 cups zucchini noodles (zoodles), fresh or store-bought
• 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and ground pork, breaking them up with a spoon, and cook until browned evenly, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes until well blended.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, and red wine. Stir in the Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Once the sauce is cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese until smooth. Let the sauce heat through for about 5 more minutes.

Step 8

While the sauce is finishing, prepare the zucchini noodles by lightly sautéing them in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender, or as per your desired texture.

Step 9

Serve the Bolognese sauce over the zucchini noodles, garnishing with fresh basil.

Step 10

Enjoy your keto-friendly Italian feast!
