Best Courgette Lemon Chilli Tagliatelle Recipes

COURGETTE, LEMON & CHILLI TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the courgettes, then place in a sieve over a bowl. Press to squeeze out all the liquid - this may take a few mins, but try to drain away as much as you can.
• Cook the pasta in boiling salted water following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat a large, non-stick frying pan, then dry-fry the bacon, stirring often, until crisp. Add the chilli and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the courgettes and cook on a high heat for 2-3 mins.
• Mix together the egg yolks, cheese, cream and lemon zest. When the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a little of the cooking water. Tip everything back into the pasta pan and toss together. Divide into bowls to serve, with extra Parmesan.

COURGETTI WITH CHILLI, LEMON, RICOTTA & MINT

Steps:

• Toss the courgetti in a bowl with the chilli, lemon juice, 3⁄4 of the mint, some flaky sea salt and black pepper. Put onto a plate and garnish with the lemon zest, reserved mint and small dollops of the ricotta.

COURGETTE & LEMON LINGUINE

Steps:

• Cook the linguine following the pack instructions, then drain quickly so some cooking water is still clinging to the strands.
• Tip back into the cooking pan with the grated courgettes, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, chillies and most of the basil. Season generously, then use tongs to toss everything together. Scatter with remaining basil leaves and add an extra drizzle of oil, if you like.
