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 I use that just because it has a ton of fibre in it.

Steps:

  • Put spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water and cook as long as the packet suggests. Mine takes 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan and spray with low fat cooking spray.
  • Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms and sautee until they start to get soft which was about 5 minutes for me. If they start to stick just put in a splash of water. This is a good way to 'fry' things without fat.
  • Add the tomatoes, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric and salt and pepper and lightly simmer for about 8 minutes stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the chickpeas and heat just long enough to cook through, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the fresh herbs and just mix through until they start to wilt.
  • Add in cooked spaghetti and stir to make sure all of the pasta is coated in the sauce.
  • Serve.

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 5-8 mins until starting to colour. Add the courgette, garlic and chilli flakes, if using, and cook for a further 3-5 mins until the courgette starts to go very soft.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, a can full of water, tomato purée, the vinegar, bouillon, olives and capers, bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 mins.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions, then drain and toss with the sauce and parsley. If you're following the Healthy Diet Plan, serve two portions with half the cheese scattered on top, and chill the rest for another day. Will keep chilled for up to three days. Reheat portions in the microwave until piping hot, or on the hob, covered, over a medium heat with a splash of water to loosen.

  • Make the Sauce: In a large Dutch oven or other wide heavy saucepan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the lamb and cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat into bits with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the cumin, coriander, crushed red-pepper flakes, cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon salt and a generous pinch of pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the milk. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until mostly evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juices, then reduce the heat to low. Break up the tomatoes into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, then gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding water ½ cup at a time if the sauce becomes dry, until the sauce is deeply flavorful, about 3 hours. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning to taste. Reserve half for the pasta. (The remaining sauce can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for up to three months.)
  • Make the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt until it tastes like the ocean (taste it). Add the pasta and cook, stirring, until al dente.
