Raw Courgette Spaghetti Bowl

A while ago, I published a guest post on Food Moods (you can find the recipe both on her blog here and/or on mine here). Today, she’s the one writing a beautiful guest post on my blog while I am spending time in New Zealand (lucky me)!  Thank you, Blandine!

“I was delighted to be asked by Delphine to write a post for her blog. We got to know each other over the past year or so through food blogging, and I always find her writing super inspiring. Her recipes are colourful and appetizing, making you want to go into the kitchen and get cooking, don’t you agree? I thought I would share what turned out to be one of my favourite recipes this summer, a meal that we had again and again. If you’ve never had raw courgette before, preparing them in ‘spaghetti’ form is the perfect way to try them out. This dish will leave you feeling nourished but without the heaviness sometimes felt after eating a bowl of real deal pasta. And because spaghetti is all the best with tomato sauce, I also came up with a raw recipe for it, in what makes a vibrant and healthy lunch bowl.”
