Gluten-free penne with zucchini and bolognese sauce
We are in the season of ripening zucchini, so I thought I would use them, unconventionally for me, in a bolognese sauce. Zucchini is low-calorie and easily digestible and literally packed with nutrients. However, these are mainly hidden in its skin, so unless you are using a very old zucchini, definitely do not peel it. As for gluten-free pasta, I have been using Liana pasta for a long time. For me, it is top-notch in terms of taste and consistency, and if you haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend it. Fusilli or elbows would also go well with a bolognese sauce.

- 2 packages of Liana gluten-free pasta - Penne (200 grams)
- 1 onion
- 500 g minced meat
- 1/3 of a medium-sized golden zucchini
- 1/3 of a smaller green zucchini (of course, adjust the amount of both zucchini to your taste)
- 400 g tomato puree
- salt, black pepper, oregano
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 pcs tomatoes
- 5 pcs fresh basil leaves
- garlic cloves (optional, I didn't use them this time)
- Chop the onion and fry it in oil, add the meat, black pepper, salt, cover the pan with a lid and stew the meat. I even fry it until the water evaporates and it is crispy, and then I add water and let it stew for about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, we will prepare a fresh tomato mixture. If I have homemade tomatoes, I always add them to the puree in this form even when I cook tomato soup, they will give an amazing taste and, together with the basil, an aroma. Scald the tomatoes with boiling water, let them stand for about 2 minutes, peel them and blend them together with the fresh basil, I do not heat the mixture any further.
- After a few minutes of stewing, add the tomato puree, a mixture of fresh tomatoes and basil, oregano, sugar and zucchini cut into small pieces. Stew everything until the meat is tender.
- Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package, serve with the Bolognese sauce and add grated mozzarella and basil to taste.
