Pasta with courgette and Parmesan

Not yet rated

William Drabble's easy courgette pasta recipe is perfect for a quick lunch or a tasty midweek meal. When fried, the grated courgette combines with the olive oil to make a subtle sauce, delightful when finished off with plenty of Parmesan shavings. If catering for a strict vegetarian, swap out the Parmesan for a vegetarian alternative.

Method

1
To cook the pasta, bring a pan of water to the boil and add the mini conchiglie pasta shells. Cook according to packet instructions
2
While the pasta is cooking, warm a little olive oil over a medium-high heat in a separate pan. Add the courgette and basil and cook quickly - the courgettes should release a little liquid, creating a sauce with the oil
3
When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the pan with the courgettes and sauce. Season well, mix until thoroughly combined and serve immediately with some grated Parmesan
