1. Boil the pasta in a large pan of salted water according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the courgettes and sear for 3 minutes, until taking on colour but still with plenty of bite.
2. Turn the heat down under the courgette pan, add the chopped walnuts, garlic and lemon zest and stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of cooking water.
3. Add the pasta, 4 tbsp cooking water, 1 tbsp lemon juice and the ricotta to the courgettes and toss well. If it seems dry, add a little more pasta water. Scatter in the pecorino and basil, check the seasoning then serve in wide bowls with a lemon wedge for squeezing over.
