Nutritional values

Red cabbage convinces with a lot of vitamin K, which makes the blood thinner and prevents clots. This keeps the heart and circulation healthy. Carrots are a delicious winter alternative to zucchini for making low-carb pasta.

In summer and early autumn, when fresh zucchini flood gardens and market stalls, you can also use them to make the delicious vegetable pasta. The cashews can be replaced with almonds or walnuts, for example.
