Low Carb Tomato Basil Courgetti

Pulsin

Hello! I am So from SOBODYUK. I am a gym bunny, healthy food blogger & a geeky scientist! These days my lab is the kitchen! I love creating delicious, healthy, wholefood, clean-eating, nutrition-dense recipes to maximise performance & health. My recipes include paleo, low carb, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free.

This dish is not only healthy, but easy to make and with a delicious balance of flavours; with saltiness from the olives contrasting with the sweetness of the sauce and fragrance of the basil.
