Method

  1. Cook the pasta to pack instructions; drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, drain the marinated courgette of any excess liquid, then flake in the tinned salmon (discarding any skin or bones), add the lemon juice and stir in most of the dill. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the breadcrumbs, garlic and chilli. Fry for 5-10 mins, stirring regularly, until the breadcrumbs are golden and toasted. Season, then transfer to a bowl and stir through the lemon zest and remaining dill.
  3. Mix the cooked pasta into the courgette and salmon mixture and serve, topped with the toasted breadcrumbs and a twist of black pepper.

Tip: This recipe uses leftover marinated courgette from our courgette, soya bean and ricotta galette recipe.
