Isabella's Courgetti

Courgetti. An unknown food to most. 

Courgetti is spaghetti, made of courgette. They are almost identical, from texture to taste. The only difference is one is a carb and one is not. 

Leaving me alone with a fridge stocked with vegetables is very risky and I tend to look at is all and somehow incorporate all of it into a dish. More often than not I end up with a bowl of veggies. And I am not complaining but it can get boring. However today was different and I am itching to share with you my very own recipe! 

I selected my favorite ingredients and came up with a dish that is creamy, flavorsome, smooth and crunchy. Its a delicious vegan, gluten-free and guilt free dish perfect for lunch or dinner!

So how do you make it?

What you will need:

1 Sauce Pan

1 Bowl

1 Grater (the smallest cutting blade)

Ingredients for sauce:

Half of a ripe Avocado

Half a Teaspoon of Dried Basil

Half a Teaspoon of Garlic Salt 

1 Teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Teaspoon of Water

Ingredients for the bowl of goodness:

2 Sprouts of Broccoli 

3 Small Mushrooms 

1 Courgette

A handful of Spinach 

Coconut Oil for frying

Step One: Place a small amount of coconut oil into a sauce pan and leave to melt and warm up. Slice both the mushroom and broccoli into small segments as seen in the picture. Now pop the veggies into the saucepan on a medium heat to fry. 

Step Two:  Taking the smallest cutting blade on your grater, grate the courgette in downward sweeping motions. Once you have grated the courgette, place the courgetti onto a paper towel and leave the water to soak out. Next, chop the spinach up and set aside. 

Don't forget to keep an eye on the veggies and flip them over!

Step Three: Mash the avocado in a bowl with the vinegar, basil, garlic salt and water. This will create the creamy, smooth sauce. 

Once the mushrooms are brown and the broccoli is crispy, take them off the heat. (about 3 minutes a side)

Step Four: Mix the courgetti and avocado sauce together with the chopped up spinach. And then place the veggies on top. 

I hope you enjoy!
