Introduction

This is a really yummy, simple recipe, although a lot of chopping is involved. I wouldn't worry too much about the ingredient quantities, the measurements are just approximate. I just use whatever I have left lurking around and do everything by eye really. Sorry if the recipe seems long, but I can't help but try and be really specific! Serves 2 (or a greedy 1 of me)

Ingredients

1 clove garlic
1 lemon
pepper

7 ounces pasta (any short pasta will do)

Chop the onion and garlic finely. Chop the courgette into roughly 1cm slices and then chop each slice into eighths. Cut a thin slice (0.5cm) of lemon from the middle and chop that into eighths.

Cook the pasta according to instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, chuck the onion, garlic, courgette and lemon into a pan and coat with olive oil. Leave to cook on a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the courgette is soft.

Remove from the heat, and stir in the goats cheese until it has melted a coated everything evenly. If you think the sauce needs to be a bit runnier, add some more olive oil to loosen it up a bit. Add the juice from the lemon to taste, but you want a little tang. Add pepper to taste.

Mix with the pasta and eat up!
