Pasta and Raw Courgette Salad
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 4-15 minutes
Servings: 1 as a main meal, or 2 as a starter or accompaniment
Ingredients:
2 oz pasta of choice (dry weight)
1 courgette
6-8 mint leaves, finely sliced
6-8 basil leaves, finely torn
2 tsps lemon juice
½ red chilli, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Mascarpone
Method:
Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, drain and place on plate.
Peel the courgette into long, thin strips. Season with the salt and pepper, mint, basil and red chilli, and place on the bed of pasta. Sprinkle over the lemon juice and top with the mascarpone. Can be served warm or cold.
Notes
You may want to adjust the amounts of mint, basil and chilli, according to taste. This dish is quite fragrant and, depending how hot the chilli is, can have a ‘bite’.
