  Lovely dish, made it several times already. As I didn't have any ricotta I made it with Philadelphia light with chives.

  Really enjoyed this - lovely subtle flavours. I upped the amount of shallots and garlic a little and used less courgette for balance; I also left out the pine nuts as we didn't have any, but found I didn't miss them.

  Great dish. Added some mushrooms too. Didn't have any lemon or basil but still tasted lovely. Will be making again.

  This was OK, but not that tasty, I used the pasta shape as in the photo but not sure it was the best choice. Shame really, as the recipe sounds lovely and summery and a good way to use the abundance of courgettes in the garden!

  Forgot to say that it tasted so summery and fresh and it is a great way to use all the courgettes from the kitchen garden

  This was a lovely summery dinner, I made it without the ricotta for a healthier dish and it was still delicious. Gave it 4 stars because if I did make it with the ricotta I imagine it would be even more yummy! Will definitely be making this again.
