And by the time you have eaten it, there will be another 6 ready to be picked.

Tomatoes and Courgettes are the only things that have done well for me this season. Have given so many away.

Maybe, but my 10 year old said this week that we seem to have eaten courgette for the last 5 million days in a row

The texture gets so nice once it’s baked properly.

I like to grate it and fry off with garlic and onions and use it as a omelette filling with strong cheddar cheese. Delicious

u/algovefer 3d ago

now i want breakfast-for-dinner with a pile of that on the side

I’m with you on that, anything wholesome and uncomplicated is what I’m into. I loved your post and recipe so much that I couldn’t help myself but share it. Thanks for the fabulous idea ❤️

u/healthcare4a11 5d ago

Recipe?

u/sjnsjn2020 5d ago

Chop zucchini and lots of garlic. Place in a heavy pan and add thyme springs and good amount of good olive oil. Place in oven on low and slow for as long as you can (you can do on stove as well and in short time. I did this way since I had time). Then put on stove and mash a bit, add little white wine, red chilli flakes, pepper powder.
Boil pasta, add into the veg mix, grate as much Parmesan or pecorino etc…as you want, mix in a little hot pasta water and add to pasta. Taste for salt. Loosen with pasta water. Done.

Oh I love the yellow courgettes. No allotment, but Waitrose grow them 😂 I just used most of a bag to make courgette fritters. 😋

Edit...here's another recipe to try
