Summer Pasta

Everyone likes pasta don't they?  Ok, maybe not everyone, but I think most people do and certainly I have never met a child that won't eat pasta.
The thing is it can get a bit repetitive, so this a a nice light summer alternative to the basic tomato pasta that most children seem to eat by the truck load!

Ingredients:

• Spaghetti for 4 people
• 1 courgette
• 1 lemon (juice and zest)
• 1-2 cloves garlic crushed or chopped
• 300ml Single cream

Method:

• Put spaghetti on to boil in a large pan
• Grate the courgette and add to a frying pan with the crushed garlic and the zest of half a lemon.
• Heat the courgette, garlic & lemon gently being careful not to let the garlic burn.
• Once the pasta is almost cooked, add the cream to the courgette and stir in well. add the juice of half a lemon stir well again and leave on a low heat.
• Drain the pasta and add to the cream & courgette and toss gently until the pasta is well coated in sauce.
• Serve into bowls and garnish with zest from the other half of the lemon.

This is perfect on a warm summer day with fresh bread and extra virgin olive oil in a dipping bowl and a chilled glass of crisp white wine.
