Zucchini is extremely low in calories and carbs, but it gives you the feeling of being full, with a neutral taste it won’t ruin the familiar flavor what you’re waiting for. Also zucchini has amazing health benefits and gives you a lot of vitamins which could sound weird when we are talking about pasta dishes!
Traditionally Bolognese sauce is made of ground beef and pork. My thick and rich meat sauce is made of authentic ingredients: ground pork, organic tomato puree, peeled tomato chunks, onion, garlic, carrot, cheese and a bunch of herbs and spices. Use Italian spices to season the Bolognese sauce like parsley, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil and bay leaves. This classic Italian bolognese sauce is cooked low & slow for a rich, hearty taste.
Stuff your healthy, almost carb free zucchini boats with this tasty Bolognese sauce + top them with cheese. That's it! Try NOW this skinny guilt-free flavored bolognese zucchini, you’ll be pleased! Tell me in comment section how you liked the recipe!
