Spaghetti alla Fi Fi

2. I’m guessing by now you know I’m a little obsessed with pasta. Most of my pasta recipes are inspired from my childhood. Growing up in Italian restaurants I watched my Mum and Auntie cook hundreds of bowls of pasta. There is something just so comforting about a bowl of homemade pasta. This particular creation is one I conjured up in my mind, so I’ve named it ‘Spaghetti alla Fi Fi” (a nickname my family gave me many moons ago). I’ve never put carrot in a pasta sauce before but surprisingly this really works. And it’s great with spaghetti and the julienne carrot and zucchini pair so beautifully with spaghetti. It’s a tad sweet, a tad salty with a chili after taste.

3. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15minutes Total time: 25 minutes Serves: 8

4. Ingredients • 2 carrots • 2 zucchinis • 4 cloves garlic • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 1 fresh chilli • 6 semi-dried tomatoes

5. 1 teaspoon salt • 1/4 cup white wine • 1/4 cup water • Juice from half a lemon • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs • One packet of spaghetti - wheat or gluten free

6. Method • Chop up garlic finely. Ribbon the carrots and zucchini (I use a special grater to do this). • Cook the garlic until slightly translucent (don’t let it brown). • Add the carrot and zucchini ribbons and cook for three minutes. • Add wine, water, salt, chili and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.

7. Cook spaghetti until al dente (meaning firm). • Once cooked, toss the spaghetti through sauce and top with breadcrumbs and lemon juice. • Add Parmesan if you like – either vegan version or dairy. TIP: Always add a teaspoon or two of salt to the water before boiling the pasta.
