Ingredients

  • 500g courgettes, trimmed and coarsely grated
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus ½ tbsp for drizzling
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 150g wholewheat penne
  • 1 Finely grated zest unwaxed lemon
  • 2 sprigs mint, leaves only, finely shredded
  • 10g Parmigiano Reggiano

Method

  1. Toss the grated courgette with salt and leave in a sieve to drain for 10 minutes. Tip into a clean tea towel or a double layer of kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as you can.

  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and fry for a minute, then add the courgette and fry for about 8 minutes until just starting to caramelise. Meanwhile, simmer the pasta in a pan of boiling water for a minute less than the pack instructions. Before draining, reserve a mugful of the pasta cooking water.

  3. Add the lemon zest, pasta and 5-6 tbsp of the cooking water to the pan with the courgette and stir together over the heat. Toss through the mint and serve with a drizzle more oil, a grind of black pepper and the cheese grated over.
