Zucchini / courgette noodles!

So we all know about the slim noodles and zero noodles which have become highly popular... Mainly for those wanting to loose weight. Losing weight isn't what I'm wanting to do though so I wanted to find a nutricious alternative with low carbs.... This is when courgette noodles were born!!

So basically all you need is a courgette and a Julienne peeler:

Stand your courgette vertical and slice the peeler down each length until you've reached the core! The peeler creates lots of noodle strands!


In this example I sautéed the noodles in a pan to soften them then added a tomato and herb sauce. To this I added edamame beens and some veg and sprinkled some cheese on top! You can add meat, fish.. Whatever takes your fancy!

Delicious, nutricious and clean!

Pretty good when you consider one nest of whole wheat noodles contains 180 calories and 38carbs and one courgette 'noodled' is only 30 calories and 1 carb!! BOOM!
