Let’s get cooking

Method

Wash the courgettes and cut into noodles with a spiraliser. Spread over kitchen paper and gently pat dry.
Blend the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic and 50 ml extra virgin olive oil into a creamy pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan and sauté the cherry tomatoes for 2 minutes.
Add the courgette noodles and cook over high heat for 1–2 minutes, just until warm.
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the pesto and toss with tongs without breaking the noodles.
Serve immediately with freshly ground pepper and optional extra Parmesan shavings.
