Zucchini pasta

Everyone loves pasta, and so do I. It's quick and easy to make but unfortunately it's a high-calorie dish. Especially white pasta is bad for our health. If you want to eat pasta, switch to brown unrefined pasta such as buckwheat or brown rice pasta.

Or, there is an even healthier alternative... zucchini pasta. Believe it or not, zucchini strands look and taste a lot like pasta. Not to mention they are delicious & healthy.

Today I made a raw zucchini pasta with tomato sauce. The quickest way to make zucchini pasta is with a spiral slicer, but if you like 'fettuccine looking pasta' you can also use a peeler. To add some flavour to the zucchini strands I used a tbsp of good olive oil and a pinch of salt & pepper.



For the tomato sauce I used 3 organic tomatoes, 1 organic red pepper, 1 red onion, a small cup of organic sun dried tomatoes, some walnuts and some sunflower seeds. Just put all these ingredients in your food processor and blend until it becomes a creamy sauce. Add some flaxseed oil, salt, pepper and oregano to give the sauce a bit more attitude.

I love my zucchini pasta with some grated Grana Padano cheese on top. But not too much of course :)

Bon appétit! xoxo
