Courgette 'Spaghetti' Bolognese

David courgette spaghetti David courgette spaghetti

Replacing white spaghetti with spiralised courgettes makes for a really simple to make meal that is healthier than regular spaghetti bolognese. If you don't have a spiraliser, use a vegetable peeler to make thin strips of courgette and combine them with the bolognese sauce at the last minute.
