    Cook's tips

    Add cubetti di pancetta to the courgette for a
    non-vegetarian alternative.

    Drinks recommendation

    These flavours are ideal with a white that’s crisp, bright and has a degree of complexity. Try this excellent Pinot Grigio that’s really in
    a class of its own, and is also suitable for vegetarians: St Michael-Eppan Pinot Grigio
