Left over meat sauce - low carb?
Last night we splurged on our diet and made spaghetti bolognese. Today it's back to low carb but I have lots of meat sauce left. I could just freeze it and use it on our carb splurge next month or I could try to use it in low-carb dishes the next couple of days. Any ideas?

Re: Left over meat sauce - low carb?
You could either freeze it or top it with mashed sweet potatoes or cauliflower and have it as a pie. Or could could peel the layers from the white part of a leek and make a low-carb lasagne with it, or you could serve it over courgette/zucchini strips instead of pasta, or you could make cauliflower "rice" and have it with that ...

Thanks Olivia, I have decided to make pasta-free lasagna with zucchini! I'm going to make bechamel too, I know that's not carb-free but all in all the whole dish will be pretty low carb.

You could just eat it out of a bowl with some salad.

You could always stuff peppers or zucchini with the left over sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake.

Should've bought more zucchini, the zucchini layer was a bit paltry. But tasty. I wonder if there are other vegetables I can make this with besides zucchini. Not eggplant, hubby hates it.

The Hairy Bikers use leeks. They poach them first, if I remember rightly.

I recall a member a long while back suggesting a recipe for moussaka that uses artichokes instead of potatoes. I want to try it, but not sure how she/he made it.

That might've been me. I've used artichokes before. None to be found these days.
