All recipes are rough guides, tweak and alter quantities to your portion sizes and preferences.

Ingredients

• About 250g courgettes
• A handful of cherry tomatoes
• 20g butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced or crushed
• 25g nooch or Grana Padana , finely grated
• A small handful of fresh basil, torn
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Using a veg peeler, slice the courgettes lengthways into ribbons. When you reach the seeds, turn the courgette and peel from the other side, leaving the soft core behind (if your courgettes are small, you can use the whole thing).
2. Heat some olive oil and butter in a pan and cook some minced garlic for a minute or so.
3. Add the courgette ribbons, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning carefully, until the ribbons start to brown.
4. Add some cherry tomatoes, stirring carefully so that they don’t burst, and cook until the tomatoes are heated through.
5. Stir through some basil and nooch/Grana Padana
