I know courgetti, or 'coodles', have been around for a while now but I only discovered them about a month ago after googling what to do with a glut of courgettes from our allotment. By using a spiraliser, I got this one from Amazon for less than £10, you simply twist your courgette {or zucchini for any Americans} and out comes spaghetti/noodles ready to cook with. Not only are they carb free but also practically calorie free and count as one of your five a day with vitamin c, potassium and fibre.




We've used them in a few different dinners now and loved them on their own with your favourite tomato sauce {I normally just fry off an onion, some crushed garlic before adding tomato puree and chopped tomatoes and simmer until reduced slightly}.

Mix with your sauce while still hot and serve with parmesan and black pepper.


Also very good with stuffed mozzarella and pesto chicken breasts wrapped in parma ham.
