Courgette & Carrot Spaghetti With Red Pepper & Tomato Sauce

This is a great recipe which can be adapted for other vegetables too. I also use the cheese and sauce to make a raw lasagne with long strips of courgettes in layers. I love using my Lurch Spiraliser for this recipe but if you don’t have one you can use a swivel peeler instead.

Courgette & Carrot Spaghetti With Red Pepper & Tomato Sauce

Overview

Difficulty – Easy

Time – 15 minutes

Serves – 4

What’s good about it?

Using a spiraliser is a fabulous way to create veggie noodles to cram in more vegetables and reduce the overall carbohydrate content in dishes. Carrots and other root vegetables as well as courgette, sweet potato are ideal for using and create a lovely vibrant colour to dishes too. If you wish to soften them you can quickly saute the noodles in a pan with a little coconut oil or olive oil.

Did you Know?

Nutritional Yeast flakes are a lovely way to add extra B vitamins to your dish and give your sauce a delicious cheesy flavour. If you are vegan try and get the brand which is fortified in B12.
