Creating Lamb Ragù with Zoodles is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Zoodles: Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into zoodles. Set aside.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Lamb: Add the ground lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
4. Add Onion and Garlic: Once the lamb is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
5. Stir in Tomatoes: Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
6. Add Broth and Spices: Pour in the beef or vegetable broth, and add the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
7. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8. Prepare Zoodles: While the ragù is simmering, lightly cook the zoodles in a separate pan for 2-3 minutes or until just tender.
9. Combine: Once the ragù is ready, serve it over a bed of zoodles.
10. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
