A delicious and healthy pasta featuring creamy sauce and zucchini!
I was so intrigued by the Zucchini Bolognese recipe listed on Delish. It goes into a nice amount of detail about the low-carb meatless pasta sauce utilized in the recipe that tastes so creamy you'd think there was tons of butter and oil in it, but it's just zucchini, water and a little bouillon.
This recipe is very healthy and is easily modifiable. One can easily add some ground beef, sausage, or steak to bulk up the recipe for dinner.
I love that cooking zucchini low and slow for a couple hours turns it into a "mush" that is surprisingly delicious, substantial, and best of all, simple.
The recipe for the Zucchini Bolognese is pretty easy to make, and yields 4 servings with a quick prep time of 10 minutes and a total time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. If anyone is interested in checking out the instructions, please click on the image up above.
