Stuffed courgette with spaghetti




This was ok, I'd make it again, but no one else in the family liked it. It's not good enough to post the recipe. The kids just ate the meat out and left the courgettes and most of the spaghetti.

Courgette? Um, are they zucchini? squash? they look like wee zucchini. Where's my NZ to American dictionary?

And I initially read it as cougarette, which is a BYU cheerleader, which is an entirely different meal.

Rachel - Yes, courgettes are little zuchinni's. They don't really sell big zuchinni's in NZ, just little courgettes. And there are no cheerleaders in NZ, let alone couragettes. Our loss, I know.

Johanna - Will see if I can put that on the menu sometime soon, thanks!
