Any courgetti fans out there!? This is one of my favourite meals in the world, and it couldn’t be easier to put together…
I made this courgetti with coriander pesto for lunch earlier today, and it took less than 20 minutes, plus it’s a brilliant way to fill up with healthy veggies!
I used a spiraliser, purchased on Juicers.ie a few years ago for €46.95, but I’m told that Amazon sell them quite cheaply too. Mine has three different width of graters, so I used the middle one to make these noodles.
Once they were made from the raw courgettes, I whizzed up the pesto in my blender.
Pesto sauces are so versatile, as they can be made from ingredients like sun-dried tomato, basil, parsley and even rocket. Any fragrant herb works really well. I happened to have coriander in the fridge, so I blended it up with toasted pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, spices and seasoning. To make it that bit healthier, I used unsweetened almond milk and only a little bit of extra-virgin olive oil. The almond milk actually worked really well and made it taste even more creamy!
After that, I added some simple sliced tomatoes and finished it off with an extra sprinkle of freshly-ground black pepper.
If you don’t have a spiraliser, then a vegetable peeler works well too! But they’re a really good investment, and something to add to your birthday present wish-list 😉
