This courgette spaghetti from Annabel Karmel’s latest book, Busy Mum’s Cookbook is deliciously flavourful and you won’t feel like you’re missing out on carbs at all.
I had great fun helping Annabel make this recipe, and although I’ve made courgetti with a spiraliser before, this is the tastiest dish recipe I’ve tried. Watch!
And here’s the recipe for you to print out. Let me know if you try it!

Simple and healthy what more could you want from a plate of spaghetti! Thanks for sharing this :)
Uhhh I love recipes with courgettes!! Do you think this would be suitable for smaller children? I want to provide some healthy alternative to our upcoming picnic.
Clearly there’s a difference between eating spaghetti and courgettes! I get hungry after courgettes in around 2-3 hours, while with spaghetti I am almost never hungry for the next 5. Great way to lose some weight!
Yum – this looks so delicious and easy! Pinning :-) Eb x
