Zucchini tossed in Angel Hair Pasta

Serves 4

2 small green zucchini

2 small yellow zucchini

3 cloves garlic, crushed

½cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil 1 large onion, chopped

500g angel hair pasta

1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice sea salt and freshly ground black pepper shaved parmesan, to serve

1.Using the processing bowl fitted with variable slicing disk, slice the zucchini to about a 4mm thickness.

2.Place the zucchini slices into a bowl with the crushed garlic and a little of the olive oil, stir through and leave for 30 minutes.

3.Remove the variable slicing blade and insert the processing blade, add onions and roughly chop.

4.Meanwhile have a large pot of salted boiling water ready for the spaghetti. It is best to cook the spaghetti so that it is ready when the zucchini is just cooked. Cook the pasta until just tender.

5.Heat remaining oil in a large deep sided frying pan and cook onions until they are translucent. Add the zucchini rounds and thyme and cook, stirring, until the zucchini just starts to soften. Add the hot drained pasta, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Stir through to combine.

Tip: Use the shaving blade disk to make shaved parmesan to serve with this recipe.

Pesto

125g fresh basil leaves

3 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons lemon juice sea salt

freshly ground black pepper 1 cup extra virgin olive oil ½ pine nuts, roasted

60g pecorino or parmesan, grated

1.Using the processing bowl fitted with the processing blade, place the basil, garlic, juice, salt, pepper and oil in the processing bowl. Pulse 3-4 times.

2.Push down any ingredients that may have come up the sides of the bowl and add the nuts and cheese. Process for a further 20 seconds or until a desired texture is achieved.

To serve: Boil a large pot of boiling water with a little oil in it. Boil 500g pasta until just tender. Drain pasta well but do not rinse. Place hot pasta back into pot and stir through half of the pesto sauce. Add more pesto to taste if desired. Serve with extra cheese and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts. Store remaining pesto in an airtight jar in the refrigerator with a little extra oil on top to prevent browning. Discard after 5 days.
