A tasty take on the Italian classic.
1 medium courgette per serving
4 rashers lean back bacon (or turkey rashers), chopped
1 large egg
150g low-fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs
150ml Avonmore Slimline Milk
40g reduced fat Parmesan or reduced fat mature cheese, finely grated
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Ground black pepper
Allow one medium courgette per person. Using a spiralizer, cut the courgette into strips.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon and spring onions and cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
Beat together the soft cheese and egg in a mixing bowl, then add to the pan. Add the Avonmore Slimline Milk, half the cheese and the parsley (if using). Season with some pepper.
Heat gently for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly, until the mixture cooks and thickens. Add the courgetti, toss well with the sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
