Instructions:
‍
1. Prepare Zucchini Noodles:
Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create zucchini noodles from the zucchini. Set them aside.
‍
2. Cook Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.

4. Prepare Bolognese Sauce:
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef or vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken. Stir occasionally.
