SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE

 

I am a huge fan of pasta but let's face it, it's not the healthiest of options. So when I found out about a pasta substitute that has a similar taste and consistency but is instead made from a vegetable (squash) I immediately tried it. I must say I was impressed with how satisfying and delicious the meal was so will definitely be making this more often from now on. 

 

Ingredients
- 1 Spaghetti squash
- Rocket
- Coconut Oil
- Salt & Pepper

Method
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Rub in a bit of coconut oil all over the surface of the spaghetti squash.
- Bake at 180 degrees for 35 minutes then leave to stand for 10.
- With a fork, scoop out the insides of the spaghetti squash into a bowl.
- Mix through some coconut oil, salt, pepper and top with rocket.

 

I hope you enjoy trying this recipe out! Just a few extra steps involved than your usual pasta but much healthier and a guilt-free alternative.

ULTIMATE TOFU VEGAN STIR FRY RECIPE

 

 

Nothing beats a good stir fry and there's so many variations but I think I have found my absolute favourite so here is the ultimate recipe for a killer vegan stir fry. 

 

Ingredients

1 pkt. Soft Tofu
1 Zucchini
1 Onion
Garlic Cloves
1/2 Egg Plant
1 cup Snowpeas
Pinenuts
Shell Pasta
Sesame Oil

 

Method

It's as simple as chucking everything in the wok; onion and garlic first then the vegetables. I like the cook the tofu in a separate pan to ensure it is thoroughly cooked then I use the same pan to brown the pinenuts. Have your pasta to the side cooking so that you can chuck it all together once the veggies and finished cooking.

I love serving this stir fry over some delicious shell pasta with a sprig of parsley or coriander on top.\
