I stumbled across a wonderful and very easy pasta dish this evening. This works with any pasta, but works best with long pasta like spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle.
150g pasta (e.g. tagliatelle)
1 shallot – finely chopped
1 garlic clove – finely chopped
1 courgette – grated
knob of butter (haha – I said knob)
tablespoon of capers
salt and pepper
handful of parsley
75g of Parmesan – finely grated
This is really very simple. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet (or if you’re hardcore and made it yourself, then cook it how you’re ‘sposed to). Whilst the pasta is cooking, heat a fairly large frying pan with a touch of oil and before it gets too hot add the shallot, the garlic and the courgette. Let them gently fry for about 5 minutes, siring occasionally. Finally add the capers, the Parmesan and the parsley and stir for a minute or two. Drain the Pasta, add to the sauce, and serve immediately. Serves 2.
