Finn's Fleur Tagliatelle (Luxury Pasta)

Serves: 2 persons
Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 6–8 courgette fleurs (Finn’s Fleur)

• 200g fresh tagliatelle

• 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)

• 50g butter

• Parmesan cheese

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

Preparation

1. Cook the pasta
   Cook tagliatelle in salted water until al dente. Save a cup of pasta water.

2. Make the base
   Melt butter in a pan and gently cook the garlic (don’t let it brown).

3. Add the flowers
   Tear the courgette fleurs slightly and add them to the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes — they should stay soft and vibrant.

4. Combine
   Add the pasta to the pan with a splash of pasta water and a drizzle of olive oil.

5. Finish
   Mix well, add Parmesan, salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve
   Finish with extra Parmesan and a few fresh flowers on top for presentation.

Tips for best result

• Keep it simple — the courgette fleur is the star

• Don’t overcook the flowers (they lose texture quickly)

• Add lemon zest for a fresh twist if desired
