Method
0 of 6 done- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta is cooking, thinly slice the courgettes and finely chop the garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the courgettes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are just tender and bright green.
- Reduce the heat to low, stir in the soft cheese and lemon juice, and mix until combined. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add the drained linguine to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Stir in the chopped mint leaves and grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint leaves and Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
