This was quick and easy to make and definitely dinner party worthy. It's fresh and light but not overly light, so perfectly satisfying. I used bavette in place of spaghetti and everything else as listed. I cooked the courgettes for a couple of minutes after the pine nuts browned, then turned off the heat before adding the rest of the ingredients along with some salt. My SO was "mmming" with every mouthful. Thanks for a great recipe!
