Ingredients
- 300 g courgettes
- 180 g turkey mince
- 180 g tomatoes
- 20 g Parmesan
Method
- Finely grate the Parmesan. Mix half of it into the turkey mince with salt and black pepper and roll into small meatballs about 3 cm across. Wash your hands after handling the raw mince.
- Brown the meatballs in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 5–6 minutes, turning, until golden all over.
- Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through: steaming hot in the middle with no pink.
- Meanwhile, cut the courgettes into long thin strands with a spiraliser or julienne peeler.
- Stir the courgetti into the sauce and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender but not soft.
- Serve topped with the rest of the Parmesan and some black pepper.
