I love this fresh, barely cooked lunch, especially in the summer when the courgettes are in season and I have a load of excess from my allotment (if I’m lucky!) It is quick and easy which is perfect for me because I always seem to have a load of stuff going on!

You can buy an expensive spiraliser if you’ve got the money or just pick up a cheaper version which works a bit like a large pencil sharpener, it does the job just as well although you do need to watch your fingers!
