pad thai with a difference.

a delicious mix of juicy king prawns, a squeeze of lime, a crunch of nuts and a handful of sweet coriander...  flavours which make up the unmistakable elements of a prawn pad thai. however in this version, i've replaced the noodles with faux courgette noodles made in minutes with my julienne peeler. that's right, it's not just spaghetti you can replace with this cheeky little gadget.

courgette spaghetti with homemade pesto.

when i finally got hold of a julienne peeler the other weekend, i couldn't wait to get started on making carb free spaghetti with vegetables. along with some homemade pesto, i tossed together some roasted red peppers and aubergines with some courgette pseudo-pasta to make a pretty healthy midweek meal.
