This light food, which is prepared by giving spaghetti form to vegetables, is an ideal option for dietary menus and those who prefer healthy nutrition. You can consume it as a main meal rich in both protein and fiber and vitamins by completing it with yogurt or ground beef. Enjoy your meal!
Remove the peels of carrots and zucchinis and wash them. Using a vegetable peeler, chop it into strips as thin as possible. Scrape the zucchini from top to bottom, leaving the core part.
Heat the oil in a shallow pan. Finely chop 1 clove of garlic and fry it in the pan for 5-10 seconds. Before the vegetables, sauté the carrots by turning them upside down until they become soft.
Add the zucchinis, turn them upside down and cook until the vegetables are soft. Keeping the vegetables fresh will preserve their vitamin values. Therefore, do not overcook.
If you are making clotted cream, chop 1 onion and add it to the pan. When the onions turn pink, add the minced meat and fry. Add grated tomatoes and cook.
For the sauce, crush the garlic and add it to the yoghurt and mix.
Place the vegetable spaghetti on a serving plate. Pour it over minced meat or yoghurt sauce if you wish. You can use both sauces together if it suits your taste. Enjoy your meal!
Note: If you are going to consume the vegetable spaghetti cold, we recommend you drizzle it with olive oil and serve it with garlic yoghurt.

Zucchini:
Zucchini (kabak) is rich in dietary fiber, Vitamin C for immunity, and potassium, benefiting heart and digestive health. It also contains powerful antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, crucial for eye health. Low in calories and high in water, it's ideal for healthy diets. It pairs wonderfully with yogurt, garlic, dill, and olive oil.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Garlic:
Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Minced Meat:
Ground meat offers high-quality protein, essential heme iron, and vitamin B12. Heme iron aids in preventing anemia and supporting oxygen transport, while B12 is crucial for nervous system health and energy production. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like onion, garlic, tomato, and parsley, boosting flavor and nutrition.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Yogurt:
Yogurt, a fermented milk product, supports the digestive system and helps balance gut flora due to its rich probiotic content. This contributes to strengthening the immune system. It is also a high-quality source of protein and calcium, important for bone health and muscle development. With its slightly sour taste, it pairs perfectly with fruits, granola, or honey for breakfast. In main dishes, it adds flavor as the main component of cacık or various mezzes.
