FAST FOOD: TAGLIATELE CON PESTO DI ZUCCHINE

Courgettes pesto 

This is what I call 'fast food'! In 10 minutes the tagliatelle with pesto di zucchine is on the table, ready to eat. Giving me this recipe my mum said "even your father likes it", and my father is never wrong! 

Ingredients:

- 1 courgette
- 1 clove of garlic

- Pine-nuts 

- Fresh Basil leaves
- Fresh Parsley leaves 

- 1/2 cup of Extra virgin olive oil
- Parmigiano reggiano cheese 
- Pecorino cheese 

- salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Wash and cut the courgette into dices. The courgette should be small and mature (but not too much, without seeds inside). Combine it with the basil, parsley, the garlic, some salt, half olive oil and the pine-nuts in a food processor or blender. Process, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container. Add the rest of the oil gradually and the before finishing the parmigiano and the pecorino previously grated.   

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Pour the fresh tagliatelle and cook them just for 2-3 minutes to keep them "al dente". Drain, saving some cooking water in a cup.  

Serving:
Toss the pesto with the tagliatelle pouring some cooking water to make it smoother.  Add pepper and parmigiano on top to taste.  Buon appetito!
