Instruction

  • <div> <div> <div> <div> <p>1. First make the pesto. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the garlic with 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt to a smooth paste. Add the basil leaves and pound so the leaves turn to a pulp. Add the pine nuts and crush until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons water and emulsify, then add the Parmesan cheese. Finally, slowly work in the olive oil.</p> <p>2. Cook the pasta with the courgettes in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 3 minutes – the pasta should still have a bite.</p> <p>3. Meanwhile, warm half the pesto in a frying pan.</p> <p>4. Using tongs, lift the pasta and courgettes from the water and add to the frying pan. Toss with the pesto and add 2–3 tablespoons of the pasta water to loosen the sauce so it coats the pasta strands.</p> <p>5. Check and adjust the seasoning and serve with the remaining pesto on top.</p> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
