1 zucchini, sliced |
6 -8 large fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped) |
1 very small onion, finely chopped |
cherry tomatoes (1 punnet) |
spaghetti |
salt & pepper |
parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Prepare your ingredients.
2. Boil water for the spaghetti and when ready add enough spaghetti for 4 people.
3. In a separate fry pan add olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan) - approx 6 tablespoons.
4. Heat gently and add onion, garlic and zucchini. Gently fry for a few minutes turning the contents often.
5. About 2-3 minutes before the spaghetti is ready, add the basil and tomato's. Fold gently so as to absorb the oil.
6. Drain the spaghetti and add to the fry pan in batches, stirring the ingredients into the spaghetti as you add.
