Often simple is best when it comes to pasta recipes, and this one ticks that box and then some. Creamy Courgette Pasta is made with so few ingredients, which means we can really taste what’s going on here. With a lemony zest and a creamy shortcut sauce, the delicate courgette favour is then complemented by a little (I lie, A LOT) of parmesan cheese to bring this simple dish together. Whether you’ve got courgettes to use up in the fridge or just fancy a quick, healthy veggie dinner on this week’s meal plan, I urge you to give this no-fuss pasta recipe a try. (It’s also a fantastic way of sneaking more vegetables in when feeding the family too…)

⭐️ A perfect midweek vegetarian dinner ⭐️ Ready in 20 minutes, very few ingredients ⭐️ Budget-friendly and healthy Here I’ve used one of my favourite pasta shortcuts, which is using cream cheese, melted into hot freshly cooked pasta to form a simple sauce. This recipe uses a store bought garlic and herb cream cheese for even more flavour – no chopping required.

You may need a drop of water to loosen the sauce up again. In the freezer I’m not a big fan of freezing pasta as it can go quite mushy when defrosted and reheated. All that said, there’s nothing wrong with freezing for a lunch if you have leftovers, it’s just not quite as good as fresh or reheated from the fridge. It helps to loosen up the ingredients and have a silky sauce finish – always worth doing this for any pasta dish that’s not overly saucy! Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
