Ingredients

1tbsp rapeseed oil

2 cloves garlic, sliced

400g tin chopped tomatoes in tomato juice

150g pitted black olives, drained and sliced

3 large courgettes, spiralised (preferably into thin ribbons, but any courgetti is fine)

25g pack basil leaves, picked and torn

Method

1
Heat ½ the oil in a pan over a medium setting. Add the garlic and fry for 2 mins until it starts to sizzle.
2
Add the tomatoes and olives to the pan, then simmer for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced slightly.
3
Meanwhile, heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan. Add the courgette ribbons and saute for 3-5 mins until softened but still with a little ‘bite’.
4
Stir the basil into the sauce, reserving a little. Spoon over the courgette ‘pasta’, sprinkle with pepper and the reserved basil, then serve from the frying pan.
