Zucchini, roasted pepper, goat cheese and pesto pasta salad
I've been looking for a use for the leftover pesto from my last recipe. After a bit of brainstorming, this idea for a warm pasta salad popped into my head. The dish came together in the time it took to boil pasta. And paired with a simply grilled steak, it made for a deliciously bright, summery dinner.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and drop in the pasta.
- 2
Combine the garlic, olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl.
- 3
Add a splash of veg oil to a medium pan on high heat. Add the zucchini and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Saute for about 2 minutes until the veg is browned but still mostly firm. Remove the zucchini to a plate and set aside.

Once cooked, drain the pasta well and add it to the bowl with the olive oil, garlic and lemon. Add the zucchini, goat cheese, roasted pepper, and 3 tbsp pesto and toss until everything's well-coated and the goat cheese has melted completely. Adjust the seasoning as required, then serve immediately.
