Pasta Bolognese: Ingredients
Pasta of choice
Grass Fed Ground Beef
Yellow Onion
Tomato Sauce
Basil
This recipe is great because you really don’t need that many ingredients. I like to keep frozen ground beef in the freezer and pasta and tomato sauce on hand in the pantry so that I can whip it up easily. I often times switch up the types of pasta that I use in this recipe. This time I used Palmini, which is a lower carb option using hearts of palm. Some other gluten free spaghetti noodles that I like are from Jovial which is made of brown rice and Banza which is made of chickpeas for extra protein.
I like to use Force of Nature ground beef in this recipe, but you can always change it up by using ground pork or veal or a combination of any of the three.
Any tomato sauce will do here. Just ensure that it is organic and doesn’t contain any extra oils or additives. I like the 365 organic tomato basil sauce that is simple in ingredients and at a lower price!
If you are in a time pinch, you can always leave out the onion and basil, but I think it really adds extra flavor!
Extra Tips
This is a great recipe to meal prep and have on hand for lunches and dinners. If you make a double batch, it will last well for around 3 days in the fridge.
Feel free to add any extra toppings to change it up. Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil are great add ons.
I have added in chopped carrots and celery to the sauce and it also tastes great!
