One of our favourite type of cooking is to have a rough idea of what we're going to cook and then constantly add to it based on what's in the cupboard and fridge. This is exactly one of those recipes where we had a rough idea of doing sausage spaghetti but we had some fresh courgette, leftover tomatoes and peppers and so decided to mix it all together for an easy weekday family meal.
