Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve a bit of pasta water & set it aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cut the zucchini lengthways, then into 1cm slices. Cook for 5 minutes on a very hot pan with a drizzle of olive oil and the minced garlic.
Step 3
Drain the pasta & add it to the pan with the reserved pasta water.
Step 4
Stir in the ricotta, chopped mint leaves, salt & pepper.
Step 5
Serve the pasta with lemon zest and pine nuts.* Sprinkle a couple of extra mint leave to decorate, if you have any left. Enjoy ! *Check out our tips for this step
For a truly flavoursome dish, we suggest toasting the pine nuts in a dry pan for a couple of minutes & adding some grated parmesan.
