Paleo courgette pasta with crispy bacon!
Courgette (zucchini) is a very versatile vegetable that can be used in a multitude of recipes. It’s a fab as a replacement to pasta in dishes like spaghetti, lasagne or used as noodles in stir-fry’s, where the courgette is cut in the shape of the pasta or noodle.
Organic courgettes are usually easy to grow in a small garden, with a little effort. When they are in season they’re also available locally at very reasonable price in farmers markets.
These make for a great and simple lunch, or they can be served along a main meat dish at dinnertime. Even when kids are not the biggest fan courgette they often love them in these alternative recipes, served with their favourite pasta sauce.
We use an inexpensive julienne peeler or small spiralizer to make the courgette spaghetti strips. There are much larger, more expensive gadgets available but I like to keep my tools as simple as possible.
There is something so satisfying about a long skinny slurpy noodle or pasta, especially if it is a carrot, turnip or a broccoli stem noodle topped with butter and garlic or your chosen sauce. My kids LOVE these recipes and always clean up when I serve them up.
