Method
-
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions or until al dente.
-
Meanwhile, take handfuls of the grated courgette, squeeze out the excess water and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low–medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovy fillets and gently fry for a minute, or until the anchovies have disintegrated. Add the courgette and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, or until softened.
-
Season with salt to taste. Stir in the prawns and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the prawns have turned pink and are cooked through.
-
Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water, and add to the mixture in the pan, tossing together to combine. Stir in the basil and continue to cook for a minute, adding a little of the pasta cooking water if necessary.
-
To make the salad, bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Add the broad beans, bring back to the boil and cook for 3 minutes. Drain the broad beans in a colander and rinse them in cold water. Drain and place the beans in a bowl, together with the artichokes, rocket and Parmesan shavings.
-
Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and toast the pine nuts for 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Scatter over the salad.
-
To make the dressing, combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over the salad and mix well.
-
Serve the linguine with a squeeze of lemon on top and the salad on the side.
