Method

Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into noodles.

Heat a large frypan with the olive oil; add the garlic and the zucchini. Mix so the zucchini is coated in the olive oil and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and mix through most of the basil leaves reserving a few for garnish.

Serve ‘pasta’ and top with goat’s cheese, a garnish of basil and drizzle of olive oil.
