Courgetti healthy recipe

Courgetti | Recipe

Nope, that's not a spelling mistake! i have found a new love and i thought i'd share it with you. Not only is it really healthy but it tastes SO good, i even managed to get my boyfriend to eat (and enjoy it) which is a huge step for someone who won't normal touch a vegetable let alone eat one! Courgettes are very cheap i think you can grab about 4 for £1.50 in Tesco

which is a bargain so this is also a very affordable meal for anyone who finds it difficult to eat healthily on a budget. There is a tonne of different ways in which you can incorporate courgetti into your meals but this is just one way that i made up and really love. It's a good way to cut any pasta cravings if you're trying to avoid any sort of carb or if you're like me and are allergic to wheat and gluten and want to try different ways rather than just gluten free or alternative pasta, this is because when the courgette is cooked it goes softer than normal and doesn't really taste of vegetable especially with a sauce so you almost feel like you actually are eating spaghetti. Now, here's the important stuff! 

to cater for 2 people

2 courgettes 

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

2 chicken breasts (which you can substitute for any other vegetable if you're vegetarian/vegan etc..)

1 carrot 

mozzarella (optional)

juice of half a lemon

coconut oil

Basil

Chilli flakes

Garlic 

salt and pepper to taste

A spiralizer

1. Put a wok/pan onto a medium to low heat and heat up a tablespoon of coconut oil.

2. Cut up 2 chicken breasts into bitesize pieces and cook until they start to turn golden brown and add the spices that you want.

3. Whilst your chicken is cooking then start to spiralize a whole courgette and 1 carrot. 

4. When your chicken is cooked then add your tinned chopped tomatoes, lemon juice and your spiralized veggies.

5. cook until your vegetables have turned soft and turn off the heat. 

6. Empty the contents of your wok/pan into a large serving bowl and add your mozzarella in random places on top of your dish. 

7. Grill on a low heat until mozzarella is all melted.

8. Serve hot and enjoy!
