Directions
Step 1
Cook the low carb bowtie pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the cooked beef from the skillet, leaving a small amount of fat in the skillet. Set the beef aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the onion mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, stirring to mix all the ingredients together.
Step 8
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Step 9
Mix in half of the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 10
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked low carb bowtie pasta to the skillet, gently mixing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 11
Serve the pasta topped with remaining parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
