Chickpea & Courgette Spaghetti

In need of a quick midweek meal? This delicious vegan ‘cheesy’ pasta dish is a take on an old classic, jam packed full of flavour, but with the addition of 5 portions of veggies in just one serving. Swapping half of your pasta portion for spiralised courgette is a great way to add in more veggies without compromising on taste.
