Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes
  • 2 courgettes, coarsely grated
  • 200g/7oz dried spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche
  • ½ lemon, finely grated zest, and juice
  • 100g/3½oz smoked salmon, chopped
  • 40g/1½oz rocket leaves
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced garlic and cook until it starts to turn golden.

  2. Add the chili flakes and grated courgettes and cook over medium heat until the courgette has released most of its moisture.

  3. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of well-salted boiling water, according to the packet instructions, until al dente.

  4. Using kitchen tongs, transfer the spaghetti to the frying pan with the cooked courgette. Add around 100ml/3½fl oz of the pasta water and stir together. Mix in the crème fraîche, lemon zest, and juice until everything is combined.

  5. Finally, stir through the smoked salmon and rocket. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Divide between two bowls and serve.
