Benefits of Zucchini:

A great all-rounder, Zucchini is packed full of nutrition; the highest being Copper and Manganese. It also contains high amounts of Vitamin C, Magnesium, Fibre, Phosphorous and Potassium making it an excellent fruit (yes, it’s a fruit) for:

• The Skin,
• Bones/Tissue,
• Constipation-relief
• Cholesterol Control
• Energy Production
• Inflammation and Blood Sugar Control
• Nervous System Support
• Men’s Health (Penis and Prostrate).
• High Copper (Great for Skin, Bones/Tissue, Cholesterol Control and Energy Production),
• High Manganese (Great for Skin and Blood Sugar Control)

To make vegan Zucchini pasta simply:

1. Peel 2 to 4 Zucchinis
2. Push each Zucchini through a spiraliser or use a potato peeler to slice long ribbons from the Zucchini.
3. Drizzle with a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4. Add a Pinch of Salt
5. Toss through with fingers
6. Add favourite topping and Stir through until combined
7. Enjoy

Topping Ideas:

1. Home Made Basil Pesto with quartered cherry tomatoes and pine nuts
2. Cashew Cream Cheese (I use Kehoe’s Kitchen) with torn Basil Leaves and a drizzle of Garlic Oil (crush 1 Garlic Clove and stir into Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a Pinch of Salt) and Black Pepper
