- Check the taste and add salt, pepper and/or more paprika if necessary.
- Leave to simmer for another 15-20 mins (continue stirring accasionally)- this is the perfect point to start cooking the pasta!

- serve with pasta. Cheese melted over the top is nice if you eat cheese.

I bought very cheap courgettes on their sell by date and searched for a recipe. This was perfect as I also had all the other ingredients in the kitchen. I missed out the garlic as I had meetings at work in the morning! Added Italian seasoning for the dried herbs and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Very nice! Low in fat - only used one tablespoon of olive oil and did the whole thing in my electric wok. This will become a favourite for sure!

When i finished making it and before I ate it, I thought it would get a low rating because it didnt look as if it would go with the pasta..but it did and was extermely nice. It is a bit dry which I dont know whether it is because of the non juicy nature of my tomatoes or the general low number of tomatoes in the recipie Otherwise, good and healthy :D..will make again with more tomatoes
