Zucchini Spaghetti with Ricotta and Cherry Tomatoes

If you're a pasta fan, this is for you! It's super quick and delicious, but contains hardly any carbohydrates. This means you can enjoy a delicious meal, without the worry of gaining anything extra or feeling sluggish. Even better, it's still super filling.

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small clove of garlic
• A handful of cherry tomatoes
• A splash of oil
• Half a lemon (juiced)
• Salt and pepper (for seasoning)
  
• 1/2 cup ricotta
• A handful of fresh basil

Instructions: 

1. Using a spiral cutter, shread the zucchini into thin 'spaghetti'. You can also use a potato peeler which will achieve an effect a little more like tagliatelle.
2. Heat the olive oil in a pan, peel the garlic, and sauté for 1 min.
3. Slice the cherry tomatoes down the middle and put in a bowl. Add the zucchini strips, and pour the lemon juice on top. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Crumble the feta, and fold half of it (a quarter of the cup) into the mix.
5. Wash the basil leaves, bunch together, and chop finely. Put half of the basil into the mix too.
6. Arrange the mix on a plate, and add the remaining basil and feta.
7. Enjoy!
