Why not try a healthier version of bolognese, spiralised zucchini bolognese is a fresher, healthier version of traditional spag bol.

• Sea salt to taste
• 3 zucchinis, spiralized (or grated lengthways if you don’t have a spiralizer)
• 2 tsp Coconut oil

Preparation:

1. Spiralize the zucchinis and place on a paper towel to dry out any excess moisture. Adding a small sprinkle of sea salt at this stage can also help the process.
2. In a large saucepan melt 1 tsp of oil and brown the minced meat, stir and break up any big bits.
3. Drain fat from the meat and then add the onions, cook for 5 mins until onions are soft.
4. Add garlic, tomatoes, and herbs, bring to the boil then simmer for 30-40 mins.
