Quick, simple and vegan adaptable. Try using your marrow or courgette, plus a handful of other ingredients to make this pasta dish.
Substitute:

Servings: 2
Ingredients:
400 g Marrow
200 g Linguine
1 Lemon
3 Garlic cloves
1 vegetable stock cube
50 g Parmesan (grated)
4 tbsp Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Recipe:
- Prepare the ingredients: Cut the marrow into chunks and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
- Cook the pasta: cook the linguine in boiling salted water, until al dente. Reserve at least 200 ml of the pasta cooking water.
- Cook the marrow: Place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and marrow chunks. Pan fry for 5-7 minutes, until lightly charred to get extra flavour and a little colour. Add the garlic slices, lemon zest and a generous pinch of both salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then crumble the stock cube over. Add the lemon juice and the reserved pasta water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the stock has dissolved.
- Finish and serve: Add the linguine directly in the pan along with the grated parmesan. Toss well, season to taste and serve.
