Eat Yourself Fit: Part II

Courgette Spaghetti with homemade Turkey Bolognaise

 Hey guys, so this is another delicious low carb recipe when you want to eat something similar to spaghetti. It is VERY simple to make and can be made in minutes. My family have also tried and tested the dish and they love it!



For a one person serving all you need is:

• One courgette
• Julienne Peeler

 

The julienne peeler looks like this -->


It can be purchased from here.





Method

1. To start, wash the courgette and cut the end and the top off.
2. Put the courgette on a flat surface and firmly press the julienne peeler on the courgette; cut it all the way down until you see something that resembles the picture below:

      3. When the above process is complete, seperate the 'spaghetti' strands.

      4.  I used a frying pan (but any pan will do), switch the gas cooker on to low-medium,

      5.  Put less than half a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and black pepper on the pan 

       then add the separated courgette spaghetti:

4. Cook them for about 5-8 minutes and mix  every 1-2 minutes, they are ready when the outside of some strands start to become crispy:

That's all that is to it! ! Just eat it as if it is spaghetti, I had mine with turkey bolognaise. This alternative is delicious, nutritious and guilty free!

Note:

• You can skip the cooking stage and eat them raw e.g in a salad, however for hot meals I prefer them like this then they are easier to eat.
•  Another great thing about this recipe is that they can also be used as an alternative to noodles not just spaghetti type dishes!

I hope you find this post useful. I would love to know if you make this courgette spaghetti recipe and what you think to them!

Hugs and Kisses,
