Zucchini tossed in Angel Hair Pasta Serves 4
2 small green zucchini
2 small yellow zucchini
3 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup (125ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
500g angel hair pasta
1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
shaved parmesan, to serve
1.Using the processing bowl fitted with
variable slicing disk, slice the zucchini to
about a 4mm thickness.
2. Place the zucchini slices into a bowl with
the crushed garlic and a little of the olive
oil, stir through and leave for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the variable slicing blade and
insert the processing blade, add onions
and roughly chop.
4. Meanwhile have a large pot of salted
boiling water ready for the spaghetti. It
is best to cook the spaghetti so that it is
ready when the zucchini is just cooked.
Cook the pasta until just tender.
5. Heat remaining oil in a large deep sided
frying pan and cook onions until they are
translucent. Add the zucchini rounds and
thyme and cook, stirring, until the zucchini
just starts to soften. Add the hot drained
pasta, lemon juice and salt and pepper to
taste. Stir through to combine.
Tip: Use the shaving blade disk to make
shaved parmesan to serve with this recipe.

125g fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ pine nuts, roasted
