Courgette is a low calorie vegetable and is a good source of protein, Vitamin A,C,K and B6 and a very good source of dietary fiber! Combined this raw ‘pasta’ is a great blend of sweet, tangy and sour and it will make you feel full for longer than regular pastas.

 

Ingredients

• 1 Courgette (large or small)
• 1 Mango
• 1 Avocado (large or small)
• 1 large chilli
• 1 Lime
• 1 Handful mint
• 4 tbsp ginger

 

Method

1. Cut the ends of the courgette and use a spiralizer to finely slice it
2. Peel the mango and the avocado and put it in a blender
3. Shred 4 cm of ginger (approx. 4 tbsp), and remove the seeds from the chilli and put in a blender with the mint
4. Mix all the vegetables in a blender until smooth (15-20 seconds)

 

This ‘pasta’ dish is raw, but can also be served warm. All you have to do then is to stir fry the courgette for a couple of minutes until tender and then add the sauce. But try the courgettes raw if you haven’t already- its delicious!

The dish also goes well with white fish or chicken for those who want to add some protein to the pasta!
