A 10-minute tomato sauce that you can add to ground beef or vegan crumble for a quick Bolognese, or olives, capers, garlic and parsley for puttanesca.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tbsp coconut or grapeseed oil
• 1 medium onion, diced small
• 2 cloves garlic, grated

• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 6 cups zucchini noodles
• ½ cup olives, sliced
• ¼ cup capers
• ½ cup parsley, chopped
• Parmesan cheese, to garnish

METHOD:

In a pot over medium heat, add the coconut oil, onions, garlic, salt and pepper.

Sauté until the onions are translucent and soft. Add the tomatoes and mustard and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes and then remove from heat.

In a hot frying pan, add the coconut oil and the zucchini noodles. Sauté briefly, and then add the tomato sauce, olives and capers. Toss to combine.
