Last night I went to Kings Cross to explore #LumiereLondon, the free festival that’s on this weekend.

It was a cold, clear night but that didn’t put off the crowds. I saw some amazing installations and when I got back home I was cold, hungry and wanted something hot, tasty and fast to cook.

So I decided to make one of my favourite fast food recipes – less than 15 minutes to prepare & cook.

- freshly ground sea salt & black pepper
Method
Wholewheat Spaghetti cooking
- Heat a frying pan to medium hot
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water on a rolling boil ( to instructions, I cook for 8 1/2 minutes)
Get your sear on! Courgettes Cooking
