Instructions
First step is to slice and dice up 1 medium onion. I always slice the onion in half, going from pole to pole. After that, cut off the end pieces, peel the skin off, then slice the entire onion into finely diced pieces.
Chop up 1 medium red bell pepper. Start by cutting off the top, then poke out the green stem. Then cut the other end of the red bell pepper. To cut out the middle piece, simply slice down one side of the red bell pepper, then pull the inside middle white piece with the seeds out. Finally, slice and chop it up.
Next, slice and chop up 6 mushrooms. Now that the vegetables are chopped up, it’s time to sauté them in a frying pan.
Add a frying pan over medium heat, then add approximately 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Since we’re using extra virgin olive oil to sauté the vegetables, do not go too high with the heat since it can oxidate the oil. You could also use coconut oil or avocado oil if you want to heat up the pan a little
bit more.
Allow the to extra virgin olive oil to heat up for just a few seconds, then add the diced onions, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the frying pan and sauté for approximately 5 minutes.
Add 1 lbs of ground beef to the frying pan with the vegetable mixture and crumble it up.
For extra flavor, add 1 tsp dried oregano, and a couple turns of black pepper and sea salt to taste, on top of the mixture.
While the ground beef continues to cook throughly, begin preparing the sweet potato noodles.
With a peeler, begin peeling the skin off of 2 sweet potatoes, then discard it. Once the ground beef has browned, continue slicing the sweet potato with the peeler into thin noodle strips. Add the sweet potato noodles directly into the frying pan mixture.
Once the sweet potato noodles are in the mixture, mix it all together so the sweet potato noodles cook thoroughly.
One of the last steps is to pour the 24 oz can of crushed tomatoes, or tomato sauce, on top of the mixture to make the bolognese sauce. Mix it together so the sauce covers all the meat and pasta noodles.
Turn down the heat even lower to simmer for 15 minutes. This will help combine all the flavors together.
If needed, add a little bit of oregano over top.
You are now ready to eat. Dish some of the mixture onto a plate and enjoy.
