Place a pan of water on to boil, once boiling season well with salt and add your pasta. Set a timer for 80-90% of the stated time on the packet.

Take the top and tail from your courgettes (zucchini) slice them lengthways into quarters and remove the inner seedy part.

Place a frying pan onto a medium-high heat add some extra virgin olive oil, give it 1-2 minutes to get hot and add your sliced courgette with a little pinch of salt.

Whilst they're cooking dice the garlic, it doesn't have to be too fine and if you're using fresh chilli dice this now as well, around the same size.

Once the courgette has had 4 to 5 minutes of cooking and is starting to take on some colour here and there, add the garlic and chilli. Cook for another minute then turn off the heat and leave it to sit until the pasta is ready.

In this time you can prepare whatever herbs you are choosing to use and pre-grate the parmesan if you want to be super organised!

Once the pasta is 90% cooked, spoon it into the frying pan with the courgette. Pour a little of the pasta water in as well and give the pan a stir or toss to get everything mixed well. Cook the water out for a minute or so.

Now turn off the heat, add the herbs, lemon juice and parmesan. Toss that together and taste for seasoning.
