Keto Spaghetti Bolognese
Keto Spaghetti Bolognese is a mix of delicious tomato based beef mince (ground beef) mixed with the greatest ingredient to befall the ketogenic diet…. Miracle Noodles!
These noodles are pretty much zero carbohydrates, as they are made from the root of a plant called the Konnyaku Imo in Japan.Â

So How Do They Taste?
These noodles don’t have much taste… but they don’t taste bad! The best part is that the noodles have a great texture, which is more important in this recipe I believe.
Keto Spaghetti Bolognese
This week’s recipes are based around mince (also known as ground beef). Mince is a cheaper alternative to full cuts of meat like steak and loins, but the fat content makes it more appropriate to a ketogenic lifestyle.
Make sure when you purchase this from the shops to get the full fat version, and not the lean style. Many of the essential vitamins and minerals come from the fat of the meat. Please note grass fed is much better than normal mince, usually containing 6 times more of the essential amino acids and vitamins.
Grass-fed doesn’t always mean that its hormone free. Beef cattle are given a large amount of hormones to speed up the process from calf to fully grown livestock. Try also to purchase hormone free, organic beef. The extra cost is definitely outweighed by the benefits.
I have attempted to keep the ingredients fairly similar this week, which reflected nicely in my Sunday meal prep day. It usually takes me around 2 hours to make all 5 meals, and increasing the quantity (for a family) wouldn’t add that much extra time onto that.
So for 2 hours on a Sunday, I have lunches for the whole week, and sometimes even dinners! I’m not a big fan of eating the same meal 5 times a week. The diversity is not only better for your health, but it keeps your taste buds from wandering into sugar-land…
Having the same casserole or bulk food every meal of the day is my form of torture. It’s much cheaper and easier to eat in bulk, but the experience is far greater if diversification becomes routine.
Keep an eye out for the recipes over the coming days. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I enjoyed creating them!
Keto Spaghetti Bolognese
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Passata Sauce (Tomato Puree)
- 1/2 Cup Diced Tomatoes
- 500 g Beef Mince (Ground Beef) (1 lb)
- 1 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tsp Italian Herbs
- 1 Tsp garlic
- 1 Packet Miracle Noodles
- 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add the 500g Mince into a frying pan (1lb) and cook until slightly brown. Add the Garlic, Worcestershire sauce and Italian Herbs and cook for 1 min.
- Pour in the passata sauce and diced tomatoes, simmering for 10 Mins
- In this time, take the miracle noodles and drain the water (I used a sieve). Wash them slightly and place them inside a light cloth to completely drain the water out
- In a second frying pan, dry fry the noodles for about 2 mins. This will cook the noodles and remove the excess water.
- You can either serve with the noodles plain, or mix the noodles into the sauce. Top with parmesan cheese, sever and enjoy!

This will sound stupid but going to ask in the ingredients close it says passata but in brackets says puree which do I use? I have some concentrated puree which is reasonably low in carbs but the passata tends to be quite high
