Pesto and chilli courgetti

4 courgettes
Half a 190g jar basil pesto
A sprinkle of chilli flakes
100g cherry tomatoes

Use a spiraliser to create your “courgetti” from the courgettes.

Boil the courgetti for 20 seconds, drain and evenly stir in the pesto, making sure all of it is covered.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and toss into the dish. Serve with a generous sprinkling of chilli flakes.
