|description=Use the seasons glut of courgettes (zucchini) to make a pasta substitute. It tastes like pasta and is gluten free!

Another great way to use your home-grown [[Courgettes|courgettes]]. Using a [[Mandoline|mandoline]] [[Peeler|peeler]], shave the courgettes into ribbons of [[Pasta|pasta]]. You could use a [[Food processor|food processor]] but the result would not be so aesthetically pleasing.

I've included this in our pasta category, even though it contains no pasta. It could possible be a gluten free pasta?
