Easy low carb slim Bolognese

530 calories

Ingredients per person (I made 3 servings)

33 g aged cheddar cheese, the icing on the proverbial cake. It's a bit brittle, but packs a ton of umami into the meal.

1/3 jar organic pasta sauce randomly picked up on special at a chemist (due to being close to its best before date, probably. This seems to be the only way shops like this end up selling stock)

A pack of slim pasta, also from the chemist. It seems one of the staff had been considering buying it because she asked me I it was "any good." If you like slightly jelly-like vermicelli, then yes, its fantastic. And it happens to go rather well with tomato based sauces.

1/3 of an extremely huge almost half kilo  onion from one of those 10 kg bags. Diced with the pivot method and a nice, sharp knife. Fried until caramelised with spray oil.

1/3 diced carrot

300 g premium beef mince formed into a pattie with a little flour to bind and spices


Method: cook everything in a microwave for 10 minutes and serve with noodles

Next time I'm substituting the noodles for long, thin slices of carrot (thin enough to bend)
