  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Fry the courgettes over a high heat until just tender, about 4 mins, adding the chilli for the final min. Take off the heat and toss though the spinach until just wilted. Add the lemon zest and season to taste. Put in a serving dish and pour over a little more olive oil just before serving.

    Really easy and tasty side dish. Good way of spicing up the courgettes because they can be pretty dull if you just boil or steam them.

    Very nice. I added some grilled halloumi on top to bulk it up to a light lunch and added some of the lemon juice too.

    Surprisingly good! I used yellow courgettes and mixed while the courgette was still hot so the spinach wilted, and also added a squeeze of lemon juice. Will make again.

    Lovely! Agree with other comments that it'd be nice with chicken or goats cheese as a main dish.
