Method

  1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, add the courgettes and fry gently until they start to go golden. Season, add a splash of water and cook while stirring and mashing to break the courgette down; this should take about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 2 minutes. Add the prawns, 2-3 tbsp chopped tomatoes and basil, season and cook for 5 minutes then add 1-2 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Toss the linguine through the sauce and serve.

    This was great!!!! :0) As previous comments - this is light and fresh. The colours are good too. I added some wine and the tin of toms, with juice, I then part cooked spagetti then added it to the pan - this soaked up the extra liquid from the toms/wine. As others, I added extra garlic (3) and a little extra chilli. Will certainly be making again. It went down a storm. Happy days bbc!

    Just made this for my friends and we all loved it! I'm not the best cook in the world and even I managed to make it.

    I tried this last night, as I have a glut of courgettes from the allotment. I didn't bother cooking the courgettes for 10 minutes as we cut them up very thinly, so they only took a couple of minutes (I also didn't mash them). In fact you can do this dish in the time it takes to cook the pasta! I also used a tin of chopped tomatoes not 3 spoonfuls as the recipe suggested. I was really surprised how nice it tasted!

    I wasn't overly impressed with this dish, thought it was a bit bland.

    Well what can I say, I could eat this every night. It was amazing, I added double the quantity of evertything as my husband is big on pasta. Worked really well and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanted to get it right so the prep was longer but who cares when a dish like this turns out. Cooking it again next week. You will not be disappointed.

    Yummy scrummy - very good indeed. Added some aubergine with the corgette and use passattan and half a fresh chilli. Could be made with chicken or salmon and would work equally well I would say.

    I made this for my husband, and instead of chopped tinned tomatoes, I added creme fraiche, and cherry tomatoes and he loved it.
