Courgette, chilli and anchovy pasta
The courgettes are grated to make a sauce to coat the pasta. Anchovies give depth of flavour and chilli adds some zing.
Ingredients
- 200g/7oz orechiette or other pasta
- 3 large courgettes
- extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
- 6 whole anchovies
- 3 cloves garlic
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- dash fried chilli flakes
- fresh parmesan, to serve
Method
Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook 'al dente.
Meanwhile, grate the courgettes and set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat plenty of olive oil and add the anchovies, crushed garlic and sea salt. Fry for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously until the anchovies start to soften.
Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and freshly ground pepper, followed by the grated courgettes and a dash more olive oil. Stir for a further 2 minutes.
When the pasta is cooked (it should take 10 minutes), drain well and add to the sauce.
To serve, toss the pasta through the sauce and spoon onto plates. Grate fresh parmesan over the top and finish with freshly ground pepper.
