Courgette pesto

Ingredients basil leaves, basil oil, parmigiano, lemon juice, pine nuts, salt, 1 clove garlic, courgette, pasta, double cream

1) To make the pesto - finely slice a good handful of fresh basil leaves and add to a mortar bowl. Sautee 1 clove of garlic in basil oil and add to the mortar bowl along with a pinch of salt and a handful of pine nuts.
Grind thoroughly, adding lemon juice, basil oil and parmeggian to taste.

2) Dice the courgette and toss in a pan with the courgette and some pine nuts and sizzle for a few minutes.

I served this with my savoury strawberries sliced mozarella.
