Pesto courgetti

Serves - 2

Courgette makes a great low carb pasta replacement. It’s not exactly the same but it’s a wonderful high fibre alternative that won’t give you that sluggish feeling afterwards.

Pesto keeps it all really fresh. Make your own pesto with garlic, basil, pine nuts, parmesan and extra virgin olive oil, or use a good quality shop bought one.

So quick to make. Super fresh herby and garlicky dish.
