  • 1 1/2 tablespoon crushed black pepper
  • 2 courgettes
  • 3 tablespoon grated fresh Parmesan
  • salt
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped spring onions
  • 1/2 packet fettuccine

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large pan heat water. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and some salt to flavor the water. Cook the fettuccine el dente according to box directions. Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of pasta water. While that is cooking, make the spinach.

    Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add onion, 1 tbsp garlic, ½ tbsp black pepper and salt. Cook till the onion caramelizes. Then add the spinach. Stir to combine till spinach softens. Turn the gas off. Keep aside.

  • Step 3

    Use a peeler to cut the courgettes into thin strips. Stir the courgette strips for a couple of secs in the hot pan after taking out the spinach. Quickly remove from heat and keep aside.

  • Step 4

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan. Add in 2 tbsp garlic, 1 tbsp black pepper, salt, and cook a couple of seconds, before adding in the strained pasta. Add the reserved pasta water. Stir to combine everything.

  • Step 5

    Pour pasta on a plate. Top with sautéed spinach, stir fried courgette, and grated Parmesan.
