COURGETTE / ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH CHILI, GARLIC & PARMESAN



Courgette / Zucchini Pasta With Chili, Garlic & Parmesan image

My Mum took my sister and I out to lunch in London the other day and we had Italian for lunch. I don't recall the name of the restaurant but the dish I had was fantastic! It was called Giardiniera I think and contained all the below but also had deep fried spinach and paremsan balls with it. I've been unable to replicate the spinach balls (I tried a baked version as well but that didn't work either) so I'm just listing the pasta and topping for now and maybe eventually I'll be able to get the rest right.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Smaller zucchini tend to have a milder flavor and fewer seeds.
  • Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. This is the easiest way to get long, thin noodles that will cook evenly. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create wide ribbons of zucchini.
  • Cook the zucchini noodles briefly. Zucchini noodles cook very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Add your favorite sauce or dressing. Zucchini noodles can be served with a variety of sauces, including pesto, marinara, or Alfredo sauce. You can also dress them with olive oil, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Top with your favorite toppings. Zucchini noodles can be topped with a variety of ingredients, including grilled chicken, shrimp, or vegetables. You can also add nuts, seeds, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Zucchini noodles are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional pasta. They are low in calories and carbohydrates, and they are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Zucchini noodles can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple salads to hearty casseroles. With a little creativity, you can create endless delicious meals with zucchini noodles.
