Step-by-Step Instructions for Nightshade Free Beef Ragu with Zoodles
- Spiralize your zucchinis into zoodles. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart and cooking for 6-8 minutes until browned.
- Pour in the beef broth and pureed pumpkin or butternut squash. Add apple cider vinegar, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the zoodles and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until tender but firm.
- Plate the zoodles and spoon the ragu over the top. Garnish with parsley or basil.
