I've recently become a bit obsessed with spiralized vegatables, in particular, spiralized courgettes have become a staple in my diet.
I've always been a bit of a sucker for gadgets in the kitchen and the spiralizer is most definitely my appliance de jour! (Soz Nutribullet). If you don't have a spiralizer machine fear not as you can buy spiralized vegetables from most supermarkets.
The poster food of the clean eating movement, spiralized veggies are a great way to work your 5 a day into your family's diet in a fun and creative way.
I wanted to share one of my favourite spiralized dishes using courgette (and not forgoing the spaghetti either (who knew ;) ).
Combined with chilli, garlic and parsley and pasta it's the perfect mid-week meal for all the family. Easy to make yet guaranteed to fire up the taste buds and just take off the chilli if it's too hot for little ones.
Enjoy!
