Low Carb Carbonara

Who doesn’t love a creamy, savoury carbonara? Here is a healthy spin on a classic favourite which is quick to make, easy and tastes delicious.

Method

• Soak the raw cashews for 4 hours or overnight (the cashews will plump up!), drain away the water and place the soaked cashews in a blender or food processor.

• Add the remaining sauce ingredients and blend for a few seconds to form a creamy sauce.

• Spiralise your courgettes. If you do not have a spiraliser, vegetable peeler peelings can be used.

• In a big non-stick pan, melt the coconut oil. Add crushed garlic and vegan bacon. Sauté for about 3 mins before adding in the spiralised courgettes, mushrooms and edamame beans. Continue cooking for about 6-8 mins to cook through and to evaporate as much moisture as possible (this prevents the final sauce from becoming too watery).

• Add the carbonara sauce to the vegetables and cook though for 4-5 mins. Serve, garnishing with fresh herbs and ground flaxseed to boost the nutritive profile.
