Azura Sky made this for us at the foody weekend
(serves 4)
kinda like spagetti
For the 'pasta':
2 Courgettes
Peel the skin with a veg peeler, discard skin. Then carry on peeling all around the courgette to the very core until you can peel no more, and have a huge mound of pasta like strips!
For the Sauce:
2-3 sticks celery
3 tomatoes
1 red pepper
Good pinch of mixed herbs
Quarter clove of garlic (strong when raw)
6 sundried tomatoes (use the ones in oil and herbs for a stronger flavour)
half an avocado or a dollop of tahini
a squeeze of lemon (or tomato puree for some zing)
Pinch of salt or dash of Liquid Aminos.
Blend all in a food processor until sauce consitency with hardly any lumps. Pour over courgette ribbons.
For Parmesan:
You can sprinkle Marigold Enegevita Nutritional Yeast flakes (available in most healthfood shops) - has a cheesy flavour and thickens the sauce somewhat. I'm a fan.
