How to make a pasta ‘fakeaway’: Vegetable Ribbon 4 Cheese ‘Pasta’. This healthy dish is perfect for a quick lunch and actually uses no pasta making it gluten free.
Here are the ingredients: Serves 2
- 40g Parmesan
- A handful of fresh basil (I used approx 22g)
- 200g Light Soft Cheese (70% less fat)
- 200g Turkey Bacon
- Canola Oil spray (I get this from Costco)
- 2 medium courgette
- 2 tin cannellini beans, drained
- 25g Feta Cheese, crumbled
Method:
- Finely grate the parmesan and place it into a food processor with the basil
- Take the light soft cheese and melt it in the microwave for 20 seconds on HIGH to soften
- Add it to the food processor and chop and blend the cheeses and basil until well combined
- Then, chop turkey bacon into 2cm strips
- Spray your pan with canola oil and put on the hob -medium heat
- Add the bacon to the pan for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned
- Meanwhile, cut the ends off the courgette and cut the courgette in half
- Take one half, insert into the spiralizer and twist in a clockwise motion until the courgette is spiralled! See the photo below for how it comes out!
- Do the same to the other half of the courgette
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the beans and the cream cheese mixture and stir until the bacon is well combined
- Add the courgette to the pan, stir then put the mixture into a microwave safe bowl
- Then add the Feta to the bowl, stir well until a sauce begins to form
- Serve immediately
