Green-eating spaghetti

For my last birthday, my boyfriend gave me the “magic” tool that allows you to cut vegetables julienne-style. I really love it! From that day, I’ve been trying out a lot of dishes. Some of them resulted maybe too… ehm…creative, other ones were actually pretty good. Like the following 🙂

Ingredients:

(serves 2)

– 2 courgettes

– 1 cup of raw garden peas

– 1/2 avocado

– 1 big garlic clove

– a lot of basil

– sunflower and pumpkin seeds (to taste)

– salt

– extra virgin olive oil

– harissa (in powder), just a pinch, but it’s not necessary

– some drops of lemon juice (to taste)

Method:

Reaaaaaaaally difficult :-P. Cut courgettes julienne-style wih the “magic” tool. In a blender, mix all the other ingredients, adding some water should the mixture be too thick. You may want to add to the it the remnants of the courgettes as well, as you will find it difficult to cut them completely with the tool. Pour the mixture over the spaghetti and stir. Season it with olive oil and a pinch of harissa. Also, you may want to add some drops of lemon juice, to make the dish more “interesting”. I left it to rest for about a hour. Just before serving, I added some basil leaves for decoration: I do like basil very much, I find it the “quintessence” of summer.
