    I came across this recipe recently, and love the idea of making vegetable pasta not just from the usual courgette, but from a whole range of veg. Rich in vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, fibres and healthy fats. This is the second peanut-based meal this month. Feel free to vary the sauce. This will go equally well with standard Bolognese or pesto. This is another handy meal equally enjoyed hot or cold the next day.
    Note: It is worth investing in a spiralizer if you don’t have one already, they’re inexpensive and not a large gadget to store when not in use.
