Ingredients
  

For the Noodles

  • 18 oz hearts of palm noodles Hearts of palm noodles only need to be drained.

For the Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Used for cooking the meat.
  • 1 lb ground beef, ground beef sausage, and/or ground turkey Feel free to substitute the meat according to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning Adjust according to taste.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adjust according to taste.
  • a pinch anise seeds
  • 25 oz low-carb marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Drain and rinse the hearts of palm noodles, then pat them dry so the sauce clings.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and break it apart while cooking until it’s thoroughly browned.
  • Mix in the salt, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and a pinch of anise seeds. Cooking these spices together helps to enhance the flavors.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce and let it simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese until everything is well combined.
  • Add your prepared noodles into the skillet, mixing everything together, and it’s ready to serve!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store the dish in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping the noodles separate from the sauce. You can also freeze the sauce for up to three months.
