FOOD AS FUEL: Turkey Zoodle Bolognese

Looking for a quick and healthy dinner? BOSIC’s Dietitian Nicholas Gala (ng_dietetics) has taken the classic Spaghetti Bolognese and given it a twist that’s low carb and low cal. 

Zoodles (noodles made from zucchini) are the perfect gluten-free pasta. You can buy pre-packed zoodles from a supermarket/health food store, or make them using a spiraliser or a mandoline. 

Packed with plenty of veggies and protein, it will keep you feeling fuller for longer. With only 15g of carbs per serving, this bolognese will prevent any large spikes in insulin levels and will keep your blood sugar levels under control. 

Ingredient: 

• 400g turkey mince
• 500g zoodles ( zucchini noodles) 
• 1 diced onion
• 1 finely chopped chilli
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 large handful chopped spinach
• 5-6 chopped mushrooms
• 400g tin diced tomato (no added salt) 
• A pinch each of oregano and basil
• 1 tsp salt 

Method:

In a pan, saute the onion, garlic, paprika and chilli. When translucent, add the tomatoes and cook till pulpy. Next add the spinach and mushrooms. Lastly, add the mince, herbs and salt, and cook covered on low heat until the mince is cooked through. The zoodles are best eaten raw. Simply mix them with your piping hot bolognese sauce. Dinner is served – without a side serving of guilt!
