Jamie Olivers 5 Ingredient Lemony Courgette Linguine Recipes

LEMONY COURGETTE LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
• 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!).
• Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the courgettes.
• Cook for 4 minutes, tossing regularly, while you finely slice the mint leaves, then stir them into the pan.
• Toss the drained pasta into the courgette pan with a splash of reserved cooking water.
• 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.
• Dish up, finely grate over the remaining Parmesan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil before tucking in.
