Today, Arielle Haspel will show you how to make some delicious and healthy Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, a pasta favorite. With just a few substitutions to the classic recipe, you will now be able to get some essential nutrients out of this amazingly simple Italian dish.

First, you're going to saute 1 chopped white onion with a little olive oil and some water. Now you're ready to add some of the beef, which is half a pound of grass-fed organic beef. Next, add in 10 cherry tomatoes straight to the pan, which will wilt down as soon as they heat up a little. Then sprinkle in some kale (3 leaves), 1 cup of basil, and 1 cup of parsley to add some flavor into the beef.

To add some more veggies into the mix, add 3 large mushrooms. Then, sprinkle in half a teaspoon of sea salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.

Once all the veggies seem to be nice and cooked, you can add in 2 cups of tomato sauce. Keep the bolognese sauce in the heat and let it simmer so you really mix those flavors together.

For the spaghetti, you'll be cooking some brown rice spaghetti, which is much healthier than white or even whole wheat pasta. Once the spaghetti is ready, add it into your Bolognese sauce and enjoy without the guilt!

00:00 [SOUND] I'm Arielle Haspel and get excited cuz today we
00:05 are making spaghetti Bolognese, the clean eating way.
00:10 So, first we are going to just saute up these onions,
00:14 we're going to add a little bit of olive oil to the pan.
00:21 Already smelling good in here.
00:22 And then I'm actually gonna add a little bit of water,
00:26 so this actually prevents us from using too much oil.
00:32 We're gonna add a little bit of garlic.
00:34 We're gonna save a little garlic later when we add the veggies.
00:41 Mix this all together and now let's add the beef.
00:44 So today we're actually using organic grass fed beef, so
00:48 this is the clean eating version of Bolognese.
00:54 Mix this up, make sure all the meat is coated with delicious onions.
01:01 We're going to cook this a little bit until the meat starts
01:03 getting a little brown.
01:05 Now we're going to put in some tomatoes, cherry tomatoes.
01:09 You can add these directly to it.
01:10 They're actually going to, they're gonna wilt down.
01:14 Then we're going to add some kale because adding greens is the perfect way
01:19 to add some health into a pasta dish.
01:23 Then we're going to add some basil to give it that Italiany flavor.
01:30 And some parsley.
01:35 And then let this cook for about three minutes.
01:39 Oh wow, it smells like an Italian restaurant in here.
01:44 A few mushrooms.
01:54 Little bit of sea salt.
02:03 So once all the veggies look like they are cooked,
02:06 were just going to add a little bit of tomato sauce.
02:10 This comes from the jar.
02:14 But there's no sugar in it and there's no canola oil or vegetable oil.
02:18 So this is the clean eating version of tomato sauce.
02:22 We're gonna let this simmer so all of the juices from the grass-fed beef and
02:26 all of the tastiness from the veggies get into this sauce.
02:30 And look how good it's looking already.
02:33 Today, we are using delicious brown rice spaghetti.
02:38 This is the clean eating version of pasta.
02:41 When we talk about clean eating we do not want to put white pasta into our bodies.
02:48 And also whole wheat sometimes will be really heavy in your body.
02:52 [MUSIC]
02:54 Mmm!
02:56 How yummy does this look?
02:57 [MUSIC]
03:00 Oh baby!
03:02 How amazing does this look?
03:04 The Italian restaurants are gonna be jealous of this.
03:06 Spaghetti Bolognese without the guilt.
03:13 Absolutely perfect.
03:15 Bon appetite.
