Zoodle Bolognese {low FODMAP, LCHF}

Zucchini noodles aka 'zoodles' are a great way to include a vegetable serve in place of wheat heavy carbs. A simple zoodle maker machine will set you back about $40 on eBay, but allows you to have your noodles ready in around 30 seconds - that's my kind of cooking!




Serves 4

4 large zucchinis 
1 tab garlic oil
500g beef mince
400g can crushed tomatoes
350ml passata
1 cup red wine
2 tsp dried bassil 
2 tsp dried oregano
Salt & Pepper
Parmasen cheese to serve 


Heat a large saucepan and add garlic oil, brown mince. Add tomatoes, passata, wine, basil, oregano and salt & pepper.

Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 10-15min.

Meanwhile chop each zucchini in half so each piece is not too long, remove ends. Create your spiralled pasta for each zucchini. ( - If you don't have a spiral maker a simple vegetable peeler can also be effective, and can give you a more 'chunky fettuccine' style zoodle.) 

Before serving, heat a little extra garlic oil in a wok and sauté the zucchini for a few minutes each to soften slightly (don't leave in too long otherwise zucchini will become too moist.)

Serve bolonaise sauce over the zoodles and top with a little grated parmesan*. A delicious and quick low FODMAP dinner!

*For those of us who are lactose intolerant, parmesan and other hard cheeses contain the least amount of lactose, so a little serving is ok to digest. Hooray!
