How to Make Tagliatelle With Parmesan And Courgettes Zucchini

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, thick-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 2 medium courgettes (zucchini), thinly sliced, to the pan and toss for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and half of a cup of chopped fresh basil.
  4. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until courgettes are tender-crisp.
  5. Meanwhile, cook 250g of tagliatelle according to package directions until al dente.
  6. Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan with the courgettes. Stir in ¾ cup of grated parmesan cheese.
  7. Toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining fresh basil and a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese.
