Zucchini Pasta with Prawns
With Spring finally here and Summer just around the corner I thought I'd post a new favourite recipe of mine that is light and refreshing. And as an added bonus it pretty much feels like a detox just eating it. Feel free to omit the prawns, I just wanted a little extra protein on mine. We love this recipe so much that it's definitely going to be making a regular appearance on our table and I swear you wont even miss the traditional wheat based pasta one bit. I definitely wont be missing the carbohydrate induced slump that regular pasta gives me.
Zucchini Pasta with prawns
from Whole Living
prawns (as many as you like)
2-3 medium sized zucchini
Sauce
7 oz box of cherry tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons (or more) ripped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, sliced finely
1/4 cup crushed walnuts
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Use a peeler to grate the zucchini into shoestrings. This peeler works really well. Sprinkle with salt and let the noodles drain on a paper towel for 10 minutes or so. Try to soak up as much excess liquid as possible. Combine sauce ingredients. Serve immediately.

Looks good! That peeler makes perfect 'noodles'.
ReplyDeleteI love love love my julienne peeler. Its great for zucchini noodles but I also use it for quickly grating beets and carrots when I just need a little for a wrap or salad.
