Method

  • step 1

    Cook the linguine following the pack instructions, then drain quickly so some cooking water is still clinging to the strands.

  • step 2

    Tip back into the cooking pan with the grated courgettes, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, chillies and most of the basil. Season generously, then use tongs to toss everything together. Scatter with remaining basil leaves and add an extra drizzle of oil, if you like.

RECIPE TIPS
SERVE IT COLD

This also makes a great pasta salad to serve with grilled salmon or leftover roast chicken. Just swap the linguine for a pasta shape like farfalle or fusilli, drain well, then mix with the other ingredients and cool before serving – the pasta will absorb the flavours while it cools.

This is much better if you saute the courgette in olive oil for 5 minutes or so.

At first I wasn't so sure, as it was quite bland, but I added lots of salt and it gave it more flavour.

This is very easy, inexpensive, and very very very yummy served along side a garlic bread!

Thought this would be fresh and summery, but it turned out to be just bland. Won't be making it again.

Easy and quick to make but very bland, only edible with a large handful of parmesan to add flavour and hide strong lemon/washing up liquid smell!
