{Low carb and vegetarian} Zucchini spaghetti marinara with mushroom dumplings
So, I have it now done. After resisting the temptation for months on end, using all my mental powers (although Claudia has been doing so for months), things have landed in my kitchen cupboard now. Or rather before - because in the closet, I have yet to open a small place. Sometime. If I have time, ne. So long it is either on the table or on the floor or on the windowsill and radiates creativity.
The things are made of plastic, can carve vegetable noodles and is officially called Lurch Spiralschneider. And: We are new best friends. Not only does the kid go crazy with Lurchi's zucchini, but I have as much fun in the short term as with new LEGO packs. So now we are standing by the kitchen table in mutual agreement, trying each other off Lurchi's crank and organizing the longest-noodle-making contests. Nice.
For low-carb Lurchi is great for friends and people with big vegetable loaves, because you can bring any firmer vegetables in spaghetti or spiral form. Just as a change from bits and pieces, strips, cubes and rasps.
And this is my first low-carb vegetable-spaghetti-full-on-vegetarian-pimped result:
Here comes the recipe for 2 people:
Mushroom Dumplings

Together with the steamed mushrooms in Place a kitchen towel, squeeze and squeeze until no liquid comes out.
