Courgette spaghetti with parsley, garlic and lemon breadcrumbs

Zest the lemons. Finely chop the garlic cloves. Trim and dice the courgettes. Finely chop the parsley. Use 1- or 2-day-old ciabatta (or other rustic loaf) to make the fresh breadcrumbs.

2. 2 Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Move on to the next steps while you wait.
3. 3 Mix together the garlic, parsley and lemon rind.
4. 4 Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan. Add the breadcrumbs and fry, stirring, until crisp.
5. 5 Take the pan off the heat, stir through the parsley mix and season.
6. 6 Drain the pasta, add the courgettes and toss together with two-thirds of the breadcrumbs.
7. 7 Sprinkle over the remaining crumbs and serve with lemon wedges.
