Looking for a quick and easy recipe to try this weekend? In her latest Cooking with Flo Instagram stories segment, actress (and Instagram chef) Florence Pugh walks her followers through the steps of making a healthy courgetti. What exactly is courgetti you ask? It’s basically an all vegetable “pasta” dish. Typically zucchini is used in the dish instead of pasta. Which is great for people (like myself) who have a little trouble getting their daily recommended intake of vegetables. This recipe is not only good for you, but it’s also easy to make and only takes about 20 minutes.
