COURGETTE & BASIL PASTA WITH PESTO CRUMBS



Courgette & basil pasta with pesto crumbs image

Serve this summery pasta bake with roasted vine tomatoes and a rocket salad

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

500g pack penne
5 courgettes , grated
2 tbsp olive oil , plus a little extra
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 onion , finely chopped
500g pot crème fraîche
25g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), finely grated
small bunch basil , reserve a few leaves for garnishing
85g chunk ciabatta
handful toasted pine nuts , plus a few extra for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Slightly undercook the pasta, then drain, reserving a ladleful of cooking water. Rinse the pasta with cold water to cool. Drain again, toss in a little oil to stop it sticking together and set aside while you get the rest of the bake ready.
  • Fry the courgettes in oil for about 10 mins to drive off most of the liquid; they should reduce down a lot. Add the garlic and onion to the pan, cook for 2 mins more, then season really well and add to the pasta. Stir in most of the crème fraîche and half the Parmesan with seasoning, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Dollop the rest of the crème fraîche over the top.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Whizz nearly all of the basil, remaining cheese, bread and pine nuts together to make pesto crumbs, then scatter all over the top. Finish with a few more pine nuts. Bake for 20 mins until the topping is crisp and bubbling at the edges. Serve with a few more basil leaves scattered over.

COURGETTE AND PASTA BAKE



Courgette and Pasta Bake image

Taken from the BBC Good Food Easy Italian booklet July 2008. I used this recipe whilst we were caravaning in the South of France with limited utensils and space and it worked wonderfully. My 3 yr old (who's recently become a fussy eater) loved it and it has quickly become a family favourite. You can alter the amounts for each ingredient to suit as the original recipe doesn't actually specify amounts and this is just how I did it. I also added some grated cheddar to the topping just because we all love cheese.
