Campervan Recipes: Zesty Lemon Spaghetti

We love to pack up and head off in the campervan. There is something about  sitting outside in the fresh air, cooking up a feast and watching the kids run wild in a field. It is often tempting to eat out during our travels but to save money we try to cook if we can – besides… food tastes better in the fresh air 🙂  I am always on the look out for easy, and healthy recipes that are ideal for our road trips. So the van life section will include campervan tips and hacks, and also a few of our favourite campervan recipes.

So to start, here is one of our favourite Campervan recipes: Zesty lemon spaghetti.
