Zucchini and Lemon Linguine
"This also makes a great pasta salad to serve with simply cooked salmon or leftover roast chicken. Just swap the linguine for a pasta shape like bows or spirals, drain well then mix with the other ingredients and cool before serving - the pasta will absorb the flavors while it cools."

I love this and make it weekly through the zucchini season. It's very quick and easy. I use a food processor for the zucchini and basil.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
