1. Slice the courgettes lengthways, using a swivel vegetable peeler - you'll need 24 long strips. Drizzle some of the olive oil and balsamic over two large plates and lay the strips flat, trying not to overlap. Sprinkle with more oil and balsamic, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 mins. Can be prepared up to 6 hrs ahead.
2. Mix the ricotta with lemon juice and seasoning to taste, then mix in the basil and pine nuts. Place 1 tsp of the ricotta mixture onto one end of a courgette strip and roll up. Repeat until you have used up all the filling. Arrange rolls upright on a plate and grind over some black pepper. Drizzle with a little more oil and balsamic vinegar to serve.

  For a non-veggie version, try putting a strip of prosciutto or another type of dried ham on the marinated strips of courgette. Lovely!

  These were nice and they certainly looked good; however I don't think I'd have any urge to make them again.

  No just not sure about this one. Think I expected more with this being one of Ramsey's. This was light and refreshing but not exciting at all. Probably be better with some kind of smoked meat as a part of anti pasti perhaps.

  I have to say after some of the comments i wasn't expecting much but it turns out these were a great hit with my family. I made as a little extra side dish for the stuffed red peppers and rice salad. I didn't even sprinkle with pine nuts as i didn't have any, they were stll yummy. I marnated for about 2 hours. Delicious and different.

  I little bit fiddly to put together, but the taste of the marinated courgettes and ricotta cheese complimented each other nicely.
