Cheesy Courgette Pasta<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gotta love a quick pasta recipe you can throw together in minutes and that include some healthy vegetables for an easy lunch or dinner and this Courgette and Parmesan Pasta will not disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing an mix of both spiralized vegetables as well as pasta, make the meal feel more filling as it will bulk it out into a more nutrient dense meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiralizing Vegetables<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle with adding enough vegetables to your plate, spiralizing your vegetables is a great way to make them more interesting. Carrot, squash, celeriac, courgette, swede are all great vegetables to spiral in place of some pasta or noodles in any dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get various different vegetable spiralizers, handheld for stick shaped vegetables and then counter top versions which will generally spiralize any shape of vegetable so the best option to go for if you the the space. They are much more sturdy too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the flavour, I took inspiration from my Delicious Carbonara using just some fresh garlic, and then a base sauce\/coating using egg yolks, parmesan and good ole pasta water. Cheesy, garlicky, healthy goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitute for Parmesan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't like parmesan, then no worries, any melting cheese is perfectly find in this recipe. But for flavour I recommend something like a white cheddar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer you could add a couple of tablespoons of light cream cheese instead. All equally delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
