By Phillippa Cheifitz

Easy
15 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cobs sweetcorn
  • 350 g baby marrows
  • 5 T olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Basil leaves a handful, torn
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 300 g penne rigate, cooked until al dente
  • 1 ball fior di latte mozzarella, shredded

Method

Slice the corn from the cobs and shred the marrows using a vegetable shredder. Stir fry the vegetables in 3 T olive oil for about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, basil and seasoning, to taste.

Toss the hot, drained pasta with 1–2 T olive oil. Mix with the vegetables.

Top with shredded mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

Cook’s note: Add some shredded ham and grated Parmesan, if you like.
