Noodles with Zucchini, Basil and Cheese

Tender noodles and zucchini with basil and a silky cheese sauce.

  1. Prepare the noodles in boiling water as the packet directs. Meanwhile, fry the sliced zucchini in the oil until soft and lightly golden.
  2. Beat the pasteurised egg yolks with the grated cheese in a large bowl.
  3. Take the pan off the heat, add the drained hot noodles, zucchini and torn basil to the bowl and toss quickly so the yolks and cheese become a glossy sauce.
