Zucchini and Lemon Linguine image

This also makes a great pasta salad to serve with simply cooked salmon or leftover roast chicken. Just swap the linguine for a pasta shape like bows or spirals, drain well then mix with the other ingredients and cool before serving - the pasta will absorb the flavors while it cools.

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 ounces linguine
3 zucchini, coarsely grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lemon, zest
1 pinch chili flakes
salt and pepper
12 -16 basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Cook the linguine following the packet instructions, then drain quickly so some cooking water is still clinging to the strands.
  • Tip back into the cooking pan with the grated zucchini, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, chili flakes and most of the basil.
  • Season generously and toss everything together using tongs.
  • Scatter with the remaining basil leaves and serve.
