Ingredients
- 1 large courgette, spiralized
- 200g spaghetti
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 100g asparagus
- 1/2 lemon, zested
- 20g pine nuts, toasted
- Handful of basil leaves

Preparation
Prep all your veg: spiralize the courgette, slice the asparagus into bite sized pieces, mince the garlic.
Toast your pine nuts.
In a pot of boiling water with lots of salt, add the spaghetti and cook according to packet instructions (usually about 8 mins). Steam the asparagus for 3 mins.
Separately, heat a large pan & then add oil, fry the garlic for 15 seconds & then add in the courgette. Sauté the courgette on a medium high heat until the pasta is ready. Once the pasta is cooked, drag it into the pan with the courgetti, dragging in some starchy pasta water. Add in the asparagus too. Mix everything around so it all gets covered in the oil & pasta water & season to taste.
Plate up & sprinkle with basil, pine nuts & a grating of lemon zest, devour.
