Best Ever Spaghetti Bolognese (FODMAP Friendly)

Spaghetti bolognese is one of the things I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat again, or at least for a looong time. Without onion and garlic at the ready, it made me think this dish would have no flavour.

I was wrong!

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 500g beef mince
• 1 carrot
• 1 zucchini
• 2.5 tbsp tomato paste
• 400g tinned, chopped tomatoes*
• GF pasta
• Garlic infused oil
• Parmesan cheese, to serve
• Salt

*Alternatively, you could use the juice from the tinned tomatoes, but use one large fresh tomato.

Method:

1. Grate carrot and zucchini. Set to side.
2. In an (garlic infused) oiled pan, start cooking beef mince – separate into small pieces in the pan to cook faster.
3. One mince has browned all over (~10 minutes), pour in carrot, zucchini and chopped tomatoes and stir through.
   1. 
4. Add tomato paste and a sprinkle of salt, and let simmer on low heat for a few minutes (until pasta is done).
   1. 
5. Add pasta to boiling water and cook until you like it (~8 minutes)
6. Once pasta has cooked, you may choose to stir the meat/vegetable mixture through or dollop it on top of the pasta.
7. Enjoy with parmesan cheese!

This is hardly even a recipe, but is a super quick, super easy way to enjoy the FODMAP diet, and great for children! Be careful with the quantity of tomatoes you consume – this recipe is very moorish, but tomatoes (particularly tomato paste) ARE restricted on the FODMAP diet. With these quantities amongst four people you should be fine.

Happy eating!
