Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 medium courgettes, coarsely grated
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- Handful of grated Parmesan
- 1 small tub of creme fraiche
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 400g linguine
Instructions
- Get your pasta on to boil in boiling salty water. Cook for about 2 minutes less than the packet says, you want it to still have a bit of bite to it as you will finish cooking it in the sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the grated courgette to the pan. Cook for a couple of mins or until soft but not starting to brown. Then add the garlic and cook for a minute longer. Season well.
- Add the creme fraiche to the pan and give it a good mix.
- Drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta cooking water. Add to the creamy courgette sauce. Turn the heat down to low and give it all a good toss to combine. Cook for another minute or so until the pasta is cooked to your liking.
- Add half the Parmesan and a little of the pasta water too if you need to loosen the sauce. Season to taste. Add the chilli flakes.
- Scoop into bowls and sprinkle the rest of the parmesan on the top.Enjoy!
