Ingredients
  

  • 1 red onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
  • 9 oz gluten free spaghetti
  • lemon juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • salt
  • pepper
  • red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Slice the red onion into long thin strips. In a large pot, heat some oil and sauté the onion for 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the uncoooked spaghetti, the vegetable broth, the coconut milk, and the lemon juice. Stir a couple of times and gently push the spaghetti in the liquid when they're soft enough (this might take a couple of minutes. Try not to break them when they're still too hard). Cook for 10-15 minutes (checking for noodles to soften).
  • Meanwhile, use a potato or vegetable peeler to make zucchini noodles. Just slice the peeler over the washed zucchini from the top to the bottom. You can keep the skin on. Set aside.
  • When the spaghetti are al dente, stir in the zucchini noodles and the frozen peas. Cook for 3 more minutes and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
