Directions
Moroccan Spaghetti (Very Low Fat and Healthy), We had this for our main meal tonight I rather heavily adapted it from the UK tv chef, Simon Rimmer’s book ‘Accidental Vegetarian’ I knocked out most of the fat he had in it (though it was all good fat) and changed around some ingredients to make it more low GI friendly On top of being tasty this is pretty healthy It is vegetarian, vegan, low fat, nearly saturated fat free and great for those of us with insulin issues because it is full of slow burning carbs with a low glycemic load You could of course use normal spaghetti rather than the whole wheat kind but use that just because it has a ton of fibre in it , Sorry, but I wasn’t wild about this recipe I didn’t use whole wheat spaghetti because I don’t like it but used everything else But thanks for sharing, pretty good Not a garbanzo bean/chickpea fan but heck this one is yummy Added some sage to it though
