Bottle gourd can be cut up and made into soups or vegetable-dishes exactly as you would use Zucchini, but it can also be made into raw vegan noodles – (a spiralizer is a commonly available type of ‘peeler’ that can be used to make noodles out of Zucchini, Pumpkins and Cucumbers.)

Make a sour cream, pesto sauce or tomato sauce and simply add it to the bottle gourd noodles, like you would with Pasta!
