Prawn Courgetti Spaghetti
Prawn Courgetti Spaghetti is a wholesome combination of seasonal courgettes, offer a low carb version of a wheat heavy pasta. Easily vegan by removing the prawns and you can easily grow your own pea shoots on a window sill.
A combination of courgettes, chard and spinach give you three of your eight a day in one dish. Green leafy veg are extremely nutrient dense foods containing a huge array of vitamins, minerals and anti cancer plant chemicals.
Growing leaves at home can be a very therapeutic and satisfying way to ease these into your lifestyle. Perfect for windowsill containers and trough’s for those with small spaces for kitchen gardens.
This gives the added benefit of being freshly available. This is important as green leaves loose their nutrient content very quickly when they are stored and start to wilt.
