Zucchini Pasta
Zucchini pasta is a low-carb, high fibre alternative to regular pasta. You will need a Spiral-slicer to make it, which we sell in store.
The below recipe is for a pesto and avocado sauce, but you can use whatever sauce you fancy…
Serves 4
Equiptment
1 Zoodle Maker/Spiral slicer (available at Toscanos)
Ingredients
4 medium zucchini
1/2 cup Basil pesto
2 avocados
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 cup semi-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tsp pink salt flakes
Method
- Place the Zucchini into your Zoodle maker and wind to create Zicchini noodles (Zoodles)
- Place the zoodles into a collander and toss gently with pink salt. Allow to rest for 30 mins then drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel (if you want truly “Al Dente” zoodles, rest uncovered in the fridge for a further 1 – 2 hours)
- When ready, place zoodles on a pan greased with coconut oil and cook over medium-high heat for 3 – 4 minutes
- Meanwhile, chop the avocado, tomatoes and olives
- Take the zoodles off the heat and add the pesto to the pan. Toss to coat
- Place on a serving bowl and top with avocado, tomatoes, olives and fresh basil. Season well
