caramelised zucchini pasta

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 5 green zucchini (courgettes), sliced
  • ½ cup mint leaves
  • 1 cup (80g) finely grated parmesan
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped

Cook the pasta in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 10–12 minutes or until al dente. Drain, return to the pan and keep warm. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the zucchini and cook for 10 minutes or until soft and caramelised. Add to the pasta with the mint, parmesan and tomato and toss to combine. Serves 4.
