Pesto Courgetti
Pesto Courgetti
This is one of our favourite recipes; it has that Italian feel to it only without the pasta.
The courgetti can be served with anything; we like ours kept simple, but for an added protein kick why not add a salmon fillet or chicken breast on top.
Healthier than pasta, we promise you won’t even notice that you’re not eating the real stuff!
Pesto Courgetti
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 courgettes (we go by the rule of one courgette per person)
- A few handfuls of cherry tomatoes
- A teaspoon of oil (we use coconut oil)
- A few handfuls of peas
- 8 tablespoons of Pesto
Place the courgette through the spiralizer. Add the oil to a large frying pan on a low heat.
Simply throw the courgette and cherry tomatoes into the pan, stirring occasionally.
Once the courgette and cherry tomatoes have started to soften add the peas.
Keep stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.
After a few minutes add the basil pesto and stir occasionally, make sure it’s all mixed in evenly.
Serve in big bowls and top with some parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts, delicious!
