Introduction
I've been making this delicious beef bolognese recipe since long before adopting a low carb and keto lifestyle.
As with all my recipes, it works just as well if eaten with regular pasta, some sort of spiralised vegetables or (my choice) by itself.
The key to getting a rich, tasty sauce is to make sure you cook it long enough to reduce the liquid to about half volume.
Ingredients
Soften the onions and carrots
Add the meat and cook until brown
Add the peppers
Add the mushrooms
Add the chopped tomatoes
Add the stock
Cook to reduce liquid by half
Serve
