Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 1 medium courgette
- 250 g spaghetti
- 10-15 Kalamata olives with oregano, pitted
- 1 handful of pistachios, chopped
- 1 burrata ball
Instructions:
- To make the tapenade, combine the Kalamata olives and lemon juice and blend to a chunky consistency. If using plain olives, add herbs to taste.
- Wash the courgette and use a spiraliser to create thin ribbons. Don't have a spiraliser? Using a large knife, thinly slice the courgette lengthwise and then cut the slices into thin strips.
- Pat the courgetti dry using a paper towel and fry the ribbons in a little oil for about 2 minutes.
- Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain, then combine the pasta with the courgetti and most of the olive tapenade, reserving some for plating.
- Divide the pasta between two plates and place half a burrata ball on each plate. Finely chop the pistachios. Sprinkle the reserved tapenade and the chopped pistachios over the pasta.
