Roasted Courgettes with Pinenuts and Cottage cheese
Most people say they fail on their healthy eating habits because they get home from work late or don't have time to cook fresh. I know it can be hard but cooking from scratch really does not take that long. I came home from a yoga class at 9.45pm too starving to go to bed without food. Yet this was made in 10mins and popped in the oven so that by the time I'd had a shower it was ready.
Not great to eat late but with something so light it is fine.
Ingredients
1 large courgette
1 large Beef steak tomato, chopped
2 tbsp of cottage cheese
1/2 red pepper chopped
Handful of fresh basil and fresh mint
1tsp of pine nuts
Slice the courgette in two vertically and cut out the inside. You won't be able to get it all out this way without breaking the skin so do the rest by using a teaspoon and gently scraping out.
Squeeze liberally with lemon juice or even an orange if that's all you have got to hand. Then fill with the chopped up vegetables, herbs and pine nuts. Top with cottage cheese, season and pop in the oven 200 for around 15-20mins.
