  I thought that this was just average. Yes, easy to do but not one of my favourites & won't be doing it again.

  A good one for mid week. Although it says serves 4 as a starter, I would say 4 as a main - they were big portions (even for our household!!!)

  Thought this was quick and delicious. Would add more courgette and more chilli next time. Definitely worth spending the extra money for pancetta.

  This was very quick and easy. The quality of the pancetta makes a big difference to the flavour of the sauce. Used some beautiful baby courgettes from a Venetian market! Italian food with real Italian ingredients...yum!

  This is a fantastic recipe, easy, quick and full of flavour and a wonderful way to use up the courgette glut! Everyone loves it, I throw in a handful of prawns at the end for my seafood lovers.

  Very tasty, will definitely make again. Added a sprinkling of parmesan. Agree with Lynsey re portion size - far too much as a starter.

  Finally... something to do with those BOGOF packs of courgettes. Great, easy meal. I'll be making it again.

  This is so delicious and easy, it's hard to believe how sumptuous this tastes with so few ingredients but the courgettes impart a real creamy quality to it. Guests can't believe how simple it is, and I often send them off with the recipe!

  Nice and easy to ring the changes from the courgette glut. I'm veggie so omitted the pancetta but added a couple of onions at the start, and also extra chilli (fresh). Added a couple of teaspoons of sugar which, together with the red wine vinegar and chilli, gave it a bit of a sweet-and-sour flavour. Will make again, and also try to freeze some of the sauce for winter.

  This was lovely, I also made it without meat and added some onions and peppers. It was cheap, healthy and super tasty.

  Really delicious - will definitely make this one again! I'm veggie, so used Quorn bacon pieces rather than the pancetta.

  I made this on Saturday night, and it went down quite well. Tasty, and easy pasta sauce, and made a change to use courgettes. A little salty though. Had it cold for lunch today, which was also nice!
