Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Put the courgette, leek, garlic and plenty of seasoning into a saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the base of the pan. Cover and cook for 10 minutes until just softened. Drain well, squeeze out the excess water and return to the saucepan. Tear the ham into pieces and add to the pan. Stir in the crème fraîche and spinach and season very well.
- Grease an ovenproof dish with butter. Spoon in the courgette and ham mixture. Combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil and Parmesan. Sprinkle over the courgette mixture to cover completely. Bake for 25 minutes until golden.

Love this recipe.
I added some green beans, and used seeded flatbreads for the breadcrumbs.
Made day before stored in fridge. For easy mid week meal.
Delicious.
