TOOLS:
- Vegetti
- Cutting Board (I recommend a bamboo cutting board like this one.)
- Knife
- Spoon (I recommend a bamboo spoon like this one.)
- Bowls
- Plates
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 Zucchini
- Pasta Sauce (Make sure to get a vegan sauce for it to be vegan. Also, I recommend getting a sauce without sugar as an added ingredient.)
- Fresh Basil
- Cashews
- Celtic Sea Salt (optional)
- Coconut Oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cut the ends off the zucchini.
- Put one end of the zucchini in the Vegetti and twist. Continue until all zucchinis have been made into vegetable spaghetti.
- Put coconut oil in a pot or wok and cook at medium to high heat for 4-5 minutes. Taste to see if done.
- Turn heat down to low and add sauce. Optional: add celtic sea salt if you want it.
- Add cashews and garnish with fresh basil on top.
Here are all the ingredients. Make sure the Vegetti is clean and ready to use. Place the zucchini on a chopping board.
Cut the ends off all the zucchinis.
Put the end of a zucchini into the Vegetti and twist to create vegetable spaghetti. When it gets difficult to hold the zucchini, place the end of the Vegetti with the spikes into the other end of the zucchini and twist until all of the zucchini is spiralized. Repeat with all of the zucchini.
Cook on medium to high heat in coconut oil for 4-5 minutes. Then turn the heat down to low and add the pasta sauce. Add Celtic sea salt if you choose to.
Add cashews for protein and garnish with fresh basil for extra yummy nutrients.
Enjoy your healthy Italian dish!
