SPEEDY CITRUS COURGETTE LINGUINE

Now summer season is in full swing, I’m always looking for something a little lighter in the evenings. This courgette linguine is a super light, fresh alternative to carb heavy pasta linguine.

It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and it's perfect for those late summer evenings, so you go to bed feeling light and wake up refreshed! Adding lots of fresh lemon juice to the dish gives it a real citrus summer feel!

If you want to create something a little more filling, try adding buckwheat or brown rice noodles. They're a great addition to bulk the dish out and are gluten free!! 

It also works well as a speedy side dish to bring along to all those summer BBQ's! :) 

Ingredients:

200g cooked prawns

3 courgettes

¼ cup cherry tomatoes

1 onion

1 lemon

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste  

Method:

Chop the tomatoes and onion finely then add into a pan with a little olive oil and sauté for approx 2 minutes, until browned. 

Using a spiraliser or a peeler, peel the courgettes to create noodles and add into the pan. Lightly sauté for a couple of minutes, adding mustard, salt, pepper and a large squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Once sautéed, add in the prawns and stir for an additional minute. 

Remove from the pan and serve. Drizzle with the remaining juice of the lemon and add a little more olive oil, salt and pepper.
