Chop and add courgette: Chop the courgette into pieces and add them to the pan with the asparagus and tomatoes. Sauté until the courgette is tender.
Add spinach: Add the chopped spinach and cook for about one more minute until the spinach wilts.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce
Pour in cream: Pour the cream into the pan with the vegetables and stir well.
Simmer sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add spaghetti: Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and mix thoroughly to coat the pasta with the sauce.

Enjoy your meal!
I first came across IVA Plants and Alex their founder at my local monthly Artisan market and decided to try the Sleep Well tea and the Rose Garden Tea. I was very impressed with the lovely aroma and the quality of the ingredients. There is an online shop but I thought I would head down to the market again to stock up. This time I bought dried Chamomile flowers, Rose buds and a Houjicha roasted greentea that she suggested for me as it is lower in caffeine. I would highly recommend all of the purchases I have made.
