2 courgettes
1 bottle peanut oil

Step 1Follow the pack instructions to cook the pasta in a generous amount of salted water until just firm. Meanwhile, deep fry the courgettes in 2 cm (an inch) of oil in a large pan. Remove from the pan as soon as they start turning brown and crunchy. Leave to drain on kitchen paper.
Step 2Bring the basilico sauce to the boil, turn down the heat and leave to simmer for a while. Drain the pasta as soon as it is cooked and stir in the sauce. Leave to stand for 1 minute and then divide the pasta between the plates.
Step 3Sprinkle the deep fried courgette over the pasta and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
