Ingredients

  • 150g essential Waitrose Linguine
  • 2 courgettes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g essential Waitrose soft cheese
  • 1 lemon, juice
  • ½ x 25g pack mint, leaves finely chopped
  • 50g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated (available from the cheese counter)

Method

  1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to pack instructions.

  2. While the water is coming to the boil, coarsely grate the courgettes and finely grate the garlic. Gently heat the oil in a large frying pan. Stir in the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then add the courgettes and toss well for 1 minute.

  3. Reserve 50ml pasta water, then drain the linguine, return it to the pan and add the soft cheese, reserved pasta water and some seasoning. Toss well until smooth and the cheese has melted.

  4. Stir through the garlic courgettes, lemon juice, mint and most of the parmesan, then serve, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.

Cook’s tip

To add extra flavour, choose a garlic and herb cream cheese.
