Lovely light summery recipe and a great way to use up the yellow and green courgettes from my garden. I had it with some crusty ciabatta to soak up the marinade.

Great healthy recipe, easy to make, flavorful and light. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta, dusted the courgette with some cinnamon and it was a yum, definitely a keeper.
