Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces linguine
2 summer squash (zucchini and yellow squash)
1/2 bunch of fresh mint
1 ounce parmesan cheese
1 lemon, juice and a little zest
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
  • 2. Meanwhile, slice the courgettes lengthways, then again into long matchsticks with good knife skills or using the julienne cutter on a mandolin (use the guard!).
  • 3. Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the courgettes.
  • 4. Cook for 4 minutes, tossing regularly, while you finely slice the mint leaves, then stir them into the pan.
  • 5. Toss the drained pasta into the courgette pan with a splash of reserved cooking water.
  • 6. Finely grate in most of the Parmesan and a little lemon zest, squeeze in all the juice, toss well, then taste and season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
  • 7. Dish up, finely grate over the remaining Parmesan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil before tucking inches.
