Method

1. Cook up a batch of pasta. Drain. Add a splash of olive oil, garlic, the juice and zest from the lemon. Season with sea salt and a good bit of black pepper.
2. Coarsely grate the courgette into the pasta. Add the chilli punch (finely chopped red chilli or an alternative – this wakes the courgette up a bit). Fold it all through.
3. Pile onto plates. Drizzle a touch more olive oil over the heap. Then, top with the cheese and tart it up with some mint or other herby leaves and toasted pinenuts. Dive in!
