This quick and easy pasta dish is fresh, delicious and very healthy! This is great when you don't have much time to cook something, particularly at lunchtime when you're having a busy day. For a lower carb meal, use more courgettes in the place of pasta.
Time: Around 12 minutes (Or more depending on the cook time of your pasta)
Calories: 480 (Per serving - Same for half pasta and double zucchini, which is a lower carb version so it's healthier)
Ingredients (Makes 2)
- 120g Dried spaghetti
- 1 Zucchini
- 3 Beef tomatoes
- 3 Sun-dried tomatoes
- A splash of white wine
- 1/2 Red onion
- 1 Clove of garlic
- 15g Spinach
- 1tbsp Olive oil
- 10 Large fresh basil leaves
Depending on your chosen pasta's cook time (Spaghetti is usually around 12 minutes, so I will use this as an example), boil a pan full of water and add the pasta. Put on a timer for the time indicated on the packet for your pasta.

When the pasta has 3 minutes cooking time left, stir in roughly shredded basil leaves and spinach, the onions and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. When the pasta is done, rinse with hot water and stir in with the sauce. Plate up, then garnish with the 'courgetti', and I like to add a few fresh tomatoes and basil leaves on top. Enjoy!
