Spaghetti with a roasted courgette and garlic sauce – glutenfree en vegan
Easy to make glutenfree and vegan spaghetti. The sauce is made from roasted courgette and garlic with some grilled cherry tomatoes. For the spaghetti I used brown rice spaghetti.
Glutenfree pasta
My favorite pasta’s are made from buckwheat, lentils and brown rice. The first two I like in the shape of penne or fusilli. But the very best spaghetti, in my opinion, is made from brown rice. I found a very tasteful spaghetti online at Fattoria Lavialla. They ship to some European countries (including the Netherlands) and the US, but its not a big company. So check the availability. And no, this is not an affiliate link. I just like them!
Courgette and garlic
You can simply roast the diced courgette with a bulb of garlic. Puree them together with green Mediterranean herbs.
Grilled tomatoes
Halfway you cab add some cherry tomatoes into the oven. I use a separate, small oven tray.
