When you’re busy working, but want to keep yourself on the healthy straight and narrow, it can be hard coming up with simple swaps that can make a big difference.
Whether you’re trying to go gluten free, looking for a paleo alternative, or just want to go the extra mile with your fitness routine, we’ll be bringing you a simple snack swap each week.
This week… why not swap your pasta for courgetti?
Ok, we know it’s being tipped as the latest way to cut your carbs, but courgette spaghetti (courgetti) is a great way of boosting your five-a-day while cutting down on carbs.
The no starch, no gluten and no flour pasta will make a perfect replacement for spaghetti, and don’t take hours to make either!
Ingredients:
2 courgettes should serve 4 portions
Method:
- Cut your courgette into long, thin strips (julienne style).
- Remove the centre part of the vegetable as it doesn’t hold up well when blanched.
- Blanche the courgette for 5 – 10 seconds, just until it starts to brighten in colour. Quickly remove and drain it, and immediately served it up topped with your sauce or meat topping.
