Method
-
step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 5 mins until just softened and fragrant. Stir in the courgette, chilli flakes (if using), tomato purée and chopped tomatoes, stir well, and cook for 8-10 mins more until the courgettes are cooked through.
-
step 2
Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente following pack instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little of the pasta cooking water.
-
step 3
Reduce the heat on the tomato sauce to low and stir in the cream. Warm through for 5 mins until the sauce has thickened slightly, season well and stir in the oregano.
-
step 4
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce along with a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed, and toss well to coat. Top with the grated cheese before serving.
