Diabetic Friendly Recipe
If you are a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic like me then you are probably looking for tasty alternatives to the carbohydrates and sugary foods that we should restrict in our diet.
Courgette Alternative Pasta
Conversions
Instructions
- Chop off the top and bottom of the courgette and, using a vegetable peeler, cut strips off the whole of the length. (For nice, thick slices, press the peeler down harder than you would when normally peeling fruit and veg.)
- Bring a small pan of water to the boil and then drop in the strips.
- Cook for up to 1 minute, then drain well.
- Season with pepper, if you wish.
- You could also try using slices of marrow in place of some of the pasta sheets when making lasagne.
