Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 diced Red bell pepper
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the zucchini noodles. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create noodles from the zucchini. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and remove beef from the skillet.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Add the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

While the sauce simmers, in a separate large pan, sauté the zucchini noodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Once the sauce is ready, mix in the fresh basil leaves.

Step 9

Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the beef sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Enjoy your Keto Hearty Beef Pasta immediately while hot and flavorful.
