Meanings
-
(colloquial, uncountable) Courgettes cut into thin spaghettilike strands, often as a substitute for spaghetti.
‘Courgetti’ can be made with other vegetables, such as sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, squash and beetroot, and a mix of different vegetables together looks wonderful.
2015, Amelia Freer, chapter 2, in Eat, Nourish, Glow: 10 easy steps for losing weight, looking younger and feeling healthier, Thorsons, page 81:Courgetti is such a great healthy alternative to pasta and the batter in this dish really brings it to life. Sweet chilli dipping sauce is one of my favourite condiments because it’s full of sugar and MSG, and it adds a vibrant pop of colour to any dish.
2016, Bella Younger, Deliciously Stella, Viking, page 83:Eating a bowl of courgetti instead of spaghetti is about as appealing to me as eating a sponge. I do not get a kick out of that. And don’t get me started with the raw-avocado-matcha-quinoa brownies... just have a brownie and enjoy it!
