  Made this last night, It was very easy to make and the flavours complimented each other wonderfully. Perfect for when you just want to relax and not spend all night in front of the oven.

  I made this tonight, really yummy and quick. I substituted lemon juice for the lemon zest and left out the olive oil. It was lovely and Ill definitely make it again

  Quick, easy and very good. Didn't turn out as I had expected - I used fresh pasta and the grated courgettes ended up a bit clumpy. I also used lemon juice like Zipetty - very summery. Will make again for a quick lunch or dinner.

  I've made this a few times, and I find it a lovely, fresh and zesty. Quick and easy to make. Perfect for a summer; everyday after work meal. I add more or less chilli depending on how spicy I feel like having it.

  Turned out a bit bland for my liking to be honest, but my husband polished it off!

  Made as described less the chilli. Whilst we enjoyed the lemony/garlicy flavour we did find very understated, bland even. Couldn't really taste the courgettes either. Liked the concept so will search for a more flavourful recipe.

  This has just been polished off by my 14 and 12 year old children who claim to loathe courgettes! My son thought it a bit bland but was happy with a little extra fresh lemon juice squeezed over. I thought it was a lovely subtle flavour, but used plenty of basil and ended up adding a little extra chilli to mine. Will definitely make it again.

  Nice and fresh, although to add more taste added the juice of half a lemon and stuck in more chilli and some prawns. Turned out to be very tasty and perfect with a nice cold larger.

  Delicious! Improvised the quantities as only cooking for one but still worked out great. Didn't have any chillies but it still made a nice summery meal.

  Easy and quick to make but very bland, only edible with a large handful of parmesan to add flavour and hide strong lemon/washing up liquid smell!

  Thought this would be fresh and summery, but it turned out to be just bland. Won't be making it again.
