Cooking Steps

Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan and cook the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes. Reserve some of the cooking liquid, then drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, slice the courgette into thin crescents.
Chop the onion into half rings.
Crush or mince the garlic.

Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the meatballs with the courgette for 4 - 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Halve the meatballs with a spatula, then add the garlic, onion and Italian seasoning to the pan. Stir, cover with the lid and fry for a further 3 minutes.

Quarter the lemon and roughly chop the fresh herbs.
To the vegetables, add the cream, honey, the juice of 1 lemon wedge per person, and half each of the fresh herbs and Grana Padano. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then allow to simmer over medium heat.
When the spaghetti is done, add it to the sauce along with half of the spinach and a splash of pasta water as preferred. Cook until the spinach is wilted.

Serve the rest of the spinach on plates and top with the lemon spaghetti and chicken meatballs.
Garnish with the remaining fresh herbs and Grana Padano.
Serve the remaining lemon wedges alongside.

Did you know... spinach is full of nutrients but it is particularly rich in iron, which is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body. This helps us feel energised.
