Arrabbiata Sauce with Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients:

• 450 grams lean ground beef (90% lean)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
• 60 ml dry red wine or beef broth
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Zucchini Noodles:

• 2 large zucchini
• 15 ml olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, cook the ground beef with onion and garlic over medium-high heat until it's no longer pink and crumbled, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, wine (or beef broth), tomato paste, honey, vinegar, and all the seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer, uncovered, for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
3. While the sauce is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles. Trim the ends of the zucchini and use a spiralizer to create thin strands.
4. In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly with tongs until they are slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook them. Sprinkle the noodles with salt.
5. Serve the zucchini noodles topped with the arrabbiata sauce. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!

Have you tried adding a bit of roasted red pepper to the arrabbiata sauce? I think it gives a nice smoky flavor though.
