Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the courgettes with some sea salt & black pepper for 2–3 minutes until lightly coloured. Add the frozen peas and allow to defrost and warm through. Cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to the pan of veg along with the pesto and a little of the pasta water. Serve with a scattering of pine nuts, Parmesan, seasoning and basil leaves.
