Beef Bolognaise with Parmesan
Cooking tip: The difference between marinara sauce and bolognaise is the addition of meat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 medium Zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon Light Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon leaf Basil (Dried)
  • 1/2 teaspoon leaf Oregano
  • 2 stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" long) Celery
  • 16 ounces Tomato Sauce (Canned)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Marjoram (Dried)
  • 2 cup flowerets Broccoli Flower Clusters
  • 24 ounces Ground Beef (85% Lean / 15% Fat)
  • 6 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream

Directions:

  1. Sauté the chopped white onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat in a heavy sauce pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.  Add the beef and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until meat is lightly browned.  Drain off excess fat.
  2. Add the tomato sauce, basil, oregano, and marjoram.  Allow to simmer for 15 minutes then add cream.  Stir to incorporate and heat through an additional 2 minutes. 
  3. Dice the zucchini, celery and broccoli.  Add to the sauce and cook an additional 5 minutes until softened.  
  4. Serve immediately with 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese per serving and an optional side salad with low-carb dressing.  This recipe makes terrific leftovers and may be frozen for up to one month.
