Courgette and Carrot Spaghetti with Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce
This is a great recipe that can be adapted for other vegetables too. I also use the cheese and sauce to make a raw lasagne with long strips of courgettes in layers. I love using my Lurch Spiraliser for this recipe but if you don’t have one you can use a swivel peeler instead.
