Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring.

Step 2

Add the chillies (if using) and stir through. Add the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Partially cover the pan and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4

Use a vegetable peeler to cut ribbons of courgette, about 3mm thick. Then, with a sharp knife, carefully slice the ribbons into long, thin, spaghetti-like strips.

Step 5

Heat the other 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and saute the courgetti for 3-4 minutes, until just beginning to soften. Take care not to overcook or the strips will go mushy.

Step 6

Mix with the hot tomato sauce and scatter Parmesan on top. Serve with crusty bread on the side.
