Step 1

Cook the pappardelle in a large saucepan of boiling water over a high-medium heat for 10 minutes until al dente, then drain.

In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat.

Step 3

Add the onion to the pan, followed by the garlic.

Add the courgettes to the pan and increase the heat to medium.

Add the pine nuts and cook for a further minute.

Step 7

While the courgette is cooking, slice the lemons in half.

Step 8

When the courgettes have softened, squeeze over the juice of each lemon through a sieve, then remove the pan from the heat and season with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Toss the cooked, drained pappardelle into the courgette and coat evenly.

Step 10

Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and scatter over basil leaves.
