Healthy Bolognese

A delicious meal everyone will enjoy and want seconds.

Ingredients:

4 oz Omega-3 Bacon or Canadian Bacon
1½ lb Grass-Fed 90/10 Ground Beef or Omega-3 Ground Chicken
1 cup white onion chopped
1 Tbsp. garlic minced
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
½ Tbsp. rosemary seasoning minced
1¼ cups dry red wine
1 28-ounce can crushed tomato
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 zucchinis spiralized
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup grass-fed milk
½ cup Plain Greek yogurt zero sugar
½ cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon or Canadian bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Chop bacon into bite-size pieces.
2. Add the onion and cook until soft—about seven minutes. Remove cooked onion to the bacon plate.
3. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink—breaking meat up as it cooks.
4. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and rosemary to the meat. Stir and saute until the garlic is fragrant, about two minutes.
5. Add the red wine and scrape up any brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the skillet. Add cooked bacon, onion, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Bring bolognese to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
6. Spiral the zucchini and place it in bowls. If you like it a little softer, microwave on high for one minute—increasing by 30 second intervals until you achieve your desired texture.
7. Add the nutmeg and milk and sour cream to the bolognese, stir, and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes.
8. Taste, and adjust to your liking.

Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese and Enjoy.
