<p>Who can resist a creamy plate of pasta? Quick, cheap and popular with kids, it’s the perfect dish for using up some of your allotment veg. Our carbonara-style <a href="/recipes/creamy-courgette-bacon-pasta">courgette & bacon pasta</a> can be whipped up in 30 minutes with a handful of punchy ingredients. Or, if you’re looking for something you can bung in the oven, serve up a bubbling pasta bake such as our <a href="/recipes/creamy-courgette-lasagne">creamy courgette lasagne</a> or <a href="/recipes/spinach-courgette-lasagne">spinach and courgette lasagne</a>.

<p>Warm up with a comforting and aromatic veggie <a href="/recipes/courgette-curry">courgette curry</a>.

<p>Use a julienne peeler or spiralizer to cut courgettes into ‘courgetti’ – a lighter take on traditional pasta. The best part? It only takes 30 seconds to cook! Throw courgetti into a pan with garlic, crème fraîche, lemon zest and seasoning, then serve like spaghetti with meatballs or ragu – try our <a href="/recipes/summer-courgetti-meatballs">summer courgetti & meatballs</a>, made with pork mince and cherry tomatoes, <a href="/recipes/courgetti-bolognese">courgetti with classic bolognese sauce</a> or <a href="/recipes/veggie-meatballs-tomato-courgetti">veggie meatballs with tomato courgetti.</a></p>

<p>We love courgettes, but they don’t always have to be star of the show. Get a taste of summer with our <a href="/recipes/charred-courgettes-runner-beans-ricotta">charred courgettes, runner beans & ricotta</a> side, which will go down a storm at barbecues. <a href="/recipes/courgettes-mint-ricotta">Courgettes with mint & ricotta</a> also make a refreshing dish to serve alongside grilled meat and fish, and we can’t resist a creamy <a href="/recipes/courgette-tahini-dip">roasted courgette & tahini dip</a>, dolloped generously over toasted flatbreads. If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to your regular chips, give our <a href="/recipes/courgette-fries">courgette fries</a> a go. They’re super simple to prepare, taking only five minutes, and are perfect with a sprinkling of parmesan. For a summery twist on nachos, try our <a href="/recipes/courgette-jalapeno-feta-nachos">courgette, jalapeño & feta nachos</a>.</p>

<p>This wouldn’t be an ode to courgettes without a mention of a classic French Provençal dish. Our classic <a href="/recipes/ratatouille">ratatouille</a> features a colourful medley of sautéed courgettes, aubergines, peppers and tomatoes, delivering a whole four of you five-a-day. Or, for a special twist, try Tommy Banks’ cheesy <a href="/recipes/baked-ratatouille-goats-cheese">baked ratatouille</a> topped with a layer of melty goat’s cheese and courgettes. This dish is also well suited to slow cooking as it allows all the flavours to mingle and intensify. Our herby <a href="/recipes/next-level-ratatouille">next level ratatouille</a> uses this technique to achieve a gorgeously jammy consistency, a joy mopped up with crusty <a href="/recipes/white-sourdough">sourdough</a>.</p>
