So I had heard about courgetti for a while but always thought it would require yet another kitchen appliance to clutter our counter tops. I recently read on another blog however that the same effect can be gained with a julienne peeler, so off I trudged to Lakeland...my mum's fave store and thought I would give it a go.
The peeler itself is nothing remarkable and is very affordable £3.29 (available here) and cuts the veg into thin even strips. This is much the same effect as a spiralizer but at a fraction of the cost. The rest is then easy, lightly fry the courgette (and I also added carrot) in a dash of oil and some garlic. If you are making a traditional pasta dish it is even easier as you can also blanche the courgetti and simply add it to the sauce as you would traditional spaghetti.
We had our courgetti and carrotgetti(??) with salmon grills and it got a thumbs up all round. I was expecting Jake to start moaning about being hungry 20 minutes after dinner however this kept him full for the evening....result.
Have you tried using veg as a pasta/rice replacement? I would love to know your recipes below.
