Healthy Pasta Bolognese

Ingredients

For 2 servings

• 200 g (7 oz) lean ground beef (about 10% fat)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 can (400 g / 14 oz) peeled tomatoes
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• Dried herbs (oregano, basil), salt and pepper to taste
• 100 g (3.5 oz) dry pasta of your choice (50 g per serving)

Instructions

1. 1Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the beef and onion over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
2. 2Add the grated carrot, peeled tomatoes and dried herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
3. 3Add a splash of water if the sauce looks thick, lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
4. 4While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
5. 5Serve the sauce over the pasta, with a side salad if you like.

Tips

• 💡 Weigh the pasta dry: 50 g dry is one serving and keeps the meal under 500 kcal.
• 💡 The sauce keeps for 3 to 4 days in the fridge, so it works well for meal prep.
