This beetroot-cashew sauce courgetti is the simplest, most filling, lowcarb meal I make and because it’s piping hot food it’s so comforting and nourishing too. This delicious vegan bowl is made with homemade almond milk so everyone can enjoy this recipe.
If you want to add protein to this dish, simply use some buffalo mozzarella (for non-vegans), tofu, quorn or black beans – these are just some options of many!
Benefits of a Homemade Sauce
Using a homemade sauce for your courgetti allows for complete control over taste – so you can tailor your food to your own preferences (perhaps you want a stronger ginger taste, or more garlic – simply adjust the measurements to your liking!). You can even change the consistency of your sauce to make it as thick or runny as you like it – to make it creamier and thicker, use less almond milk; to make it runnier, use more. You can really make this beetroot-cashew sauce a custom one to suit all your tastes.
A Little on Courgetti…
Also referred to as zucchini noodles (or zoodles!), spiralized courgettes are an excellent low carb alternative to traditional spaghetti pasta. They retain all the goodness of courgettes whilst offering a pasta replacement. Courgetti are great to use if you’re on a time limit – they only take about 2 minutes to cook, which is another reason to love these low carb pasta substitutes. Paired with a beetroot-cashew sauce that’s quick and simple to make (just blend your ingredients in a NutriBullet), this low carb beetroot-cashew courgetti is the perfect quick fix for your lunchtime or dinner needs.
