Zoodles with Tomato Sauce

Zoodles with Tomato Sauce
Zoodles (zucchini noodles, also known as courgette pasta) are a healthy alternative to pasta and are a great way of getting some extra vegetables into your child's diet. They are fun to make so why not get them into the kitchen to help with spiralizing!

This easy zoodle recipe with homemade tomato sauce is delicious and your kids will really enjoy them.

If you can't get your hands on a spiralizer, simply peel the courgette into ribbons.
