Pasta with Zucchini Cream Sauce
Zucchini not only provide this easy-to-prepare pasta dish with intestine-healthy fibre, but also contain plenty of potassium, which is important for the regulation of blood pressure. In addition, there is magnesium for strong muscles and nerves and a relatively large amount of iron.
The antioxidant vitamins A, C and E from parsley protect the body cells from harmful influences.
If you like, you can add Parmesan cheese to the sauce for a stronger aroma and extra calcium. Grate 20-30 grams of hard cheese and let it simmer together with the cream.
For the vegan variant without cream and without butter, the dish can alternatively be prepared with vegan margarine and soy cream or oat cream.
