I threw together a little something in the kitchen earlier and it dawned on me I've been cooking as a veggie for years and I haven't shared any of my quick easy recipes yet.
3. Now throw your courgetti in with your onion and garlic, cook for one minute and turn off the hob. Drain your broccoli and pasta once soft, and pour into the saucepan. Dice a large cooked beetroot and throw into the mix. Now all you need to do is add your crème fraiche, cheese and seasoning of salt and pepper and serve!
So here we are, my take on reducing the amount of pasta I use in my dishes to keep the carbs low. Let me know how you got on in the comments if you tried this out at home!
