Low Carb Green Bean Spaghetti Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Wash the green beans and cut off the thinner parts at each end. Peel and slice the onion very finely. Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters depending on how big they are.
• Pour the oil into a large frying pan or skillet, heat it and fry the garlic clove, onion and whole peperoncino until the onion starts to soften. Then add the tomato pieces and cook until they start to soften too.
• In the meantime, in a pot with plenty of salted water, partly cook the green beans for a few minutes. Drain the beans and add them to the pan with the onion and tomatoes.
• Continue cooking for 5 minutes then add the tomato passata and mix everything together. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• When the sauce is almost ready, cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet. I used the water I cooked the beans in. If you are using fresh pasta the cooking time will be very short.
• Remove the garlic clove and red chilli pepper from the sauce. Drain the pasta and add it to the green beans and tomato sauce.
• Add a generous sprinkling of grated cacioricotta and mix well. I also added a handful of chopped fresh parsley or you can use basil. (both are optional)
• Serve with more grated cacioricotta or pecorino sprinkled on top.

GREEN BEAN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• 1. This really is a one dish meal -- I adjust the amount of green beans and meat (increase or decrease) to fit the situation and the number of people I'm feeding.
• 2. I really do just dump the frozen green beans into the pan and cook until they are thawed, cover with sauce, and simmer til tender. Sometimes I add other frozen vegetables, too -- such as broccoli or okra
• 3. I also like to add some more garlic powder and Italian spices for the last 5 minutes of cooking time to freshen up the flavors. You can also add a little more salt and pepper if you like at that time. Just taste it and see.
