Instructies

Preparing zucchini

  • We like firm courgettes. They will remain firm if you brine them before baking. If you don't have time for this, fry them quickly in a hot pan.
  • Cut the zucchini into small pieces. Place them in a colander and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of salt. The salt removes the moisture from the zucchini. Let the zucchini stand for half an hour and dry with a piece of kitchen paper.
  • Note: when you brine the zucchini you don't have to add any or little salt to the rest of the dish.

Pasta

  • Fry the sliced mushrooms and after a few minutes add the zucchini. Stir well and fry well over high heat.
  • Cook the pasta. You don't need to add salt with pickled courgettes.
  • Stir the ricotta fine and add the (vegan) Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest of a whole lemon. Then add lemon juice from half a lemon.
  • Mix the cooked pasta, zucchini, mushrooms and ricotta mixture together and let it heat through for a while.
