\nCourgette Spaghetti Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 medium sized courgette per person<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon of salt<\/span>
\n3 tablespoons good quality extra virgin olive oil<\/span><\/p>\n

Courgette Spaghetti Method and Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Using a vegetable peeler \u2013 peel off ribbon-like strips which you then cut with a sharp knife into \u201cspaghetti-like noodles\u201d.<\/span>
\n2. When you get to the seeds, turn the courgette as the seeds are too moist and will not hold the spaghetti shape.<\/span>
\n3. Just before serving \u2013 lightly fry in a pan with the olive oil and salt.<\/span>
\n4. You want the courgette spaghetti to be firm, not soft \u2013 so be careful not to over cook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chef\u2019s Tip: This is a great recipe if you are trying to keep your carb intake low. You can also use cabbage for your Spaghetti-like noodles by shredding the cabbage so you get long thin strips.<\/span><\/p>\n
