About Spinach and courgette sauce

Spinach and Courgette Sauce is a vibrant, nutrient-packed blend of fresh spinach, courgettes (zucchini), garlic, olive oil, and optional seasoning like herbs or lemon juice for added flavor. This light, creamy sauce is commonly found in Mediterranean-inspired dishes and pairs well with pasta, grains, or as a topping for roasted vegetables and proteins. Spinach contributes iron, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K, while courgettes are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. The olive oil elevates the dish with healthy monounsaturated fats. Low in calories and free of heavy creams, this sauce is an excellent choice for those aiming for a balanced, plant-based option. However, portions prepared with excessive oil or salt may shift its healthfulness, so mindful preparation is key. Its fresh flavors and versatility make it ideal for adding nutrient density to wholesome meals.
