2

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

When hot, add the courgette rounds and leave to char all over, 2-3 mins each side.

Scatter the pine nuts into the pan for the last minute to allow them to toast lightly, then remove the pan from the heat.

Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the pan of boiling water and cook for 11 mins then drain in a colander.

4

Pop the mint, lemon zest half the chilli and half the hard Italian cheese in a bowl along with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount).

Stir together then season to taste with salt and pepper.

5

Return the drained pasta to the saucepan (off the heat) and stir through the courgettes, mint drizzle and pine nuts.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6

Serve the pasta in bowls sprinkled with the remaining hard Italian cheese.
