This is an easy recipe for creamy tomato sauce with courgette spaghetti.
The sauce is creamy thanks to the cashews and has no oil added. You can either steam the courgette spaghetti for 30 seconds or leave raw.
In the summer I prefer the raw spaghetti and in the winter when I want something warmer I have the softer cooked version.
Top with anything you like, I find black olives, basil leaves and fresh tomatoes work well.
