    1 Cook spirals according to packet instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add zucchini. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water.

    2 Meanwhile, make meatballs and sauce. Into a bowl, place half of the spring onions and half of the garlic with chicken mince, Tuscan seasoning and carrot. Form into small balls.

    3 Spray a pan with oil and set over a medium-high heat. Add meatballs to pan and cook, turning, for 5 minutes, until browned. Add remaining garlic and spring onion, chopped tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar to pan along with reserved pasta water and rocket. Reduce heat and simmer, gently stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through.

    4 Serve meatballs and sauce with zucchini and spaghetti, garnished with parmesan, parsley and black pepper.
