No-fuss Marrow Pasta
Quick, simple and vegan adaptable. Try using your marrow or courgette, plus a handful of other ingredients to make this pasta dish.
Substitute:
- No marrow? Use courgette.
- No linguine? Use any pasta you have on hand.
- Other options? Add a pinch of chilli flakes for a little heat and top with fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
- No parmesan/vegan? To get that creamy consistency, add a dollop of butter or vegan butter instead.

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:
- Cut the marrow into chunks and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
- Cook the linguine in boiling salted water, until al dente. Reserve at least 200 ml of the pasta cooking water.
- 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.
