Spirelli: not just for the fit crowd

Spirelli

Spirelli (this handy tool) is a favorite among fit girls and boys, because it lets you quickly make vegetable spaghetti. But you can also take it in a different direction. A few ideas.

Spiralizers have been used in the kitchen for some time, but the fit crowd has rediscovered them as a handy tool for making vegetable spaghetti. Just to be clear: this isn’t pasta, but simply long strands of vegetables. Strands that don’t necessarily have to replace your pasta, but are instead a lovely addition.

Here’s another way

For example, make rice noodles with strands of cucumber and courgette, sesame seeds, pieces of avocado and grilled chicken thigh (first marinate it overnight in soy sauce, ginger, garlic and red chili pepper). Another delicious option: make gnocchi with courgette strands, grated comté, cream and plenty of black pepper.
