  2. Cook spaghetti in a large saucepan or boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente; drain, return to pan.
  3. Heat remaining olive oil in a large frying pan; cook zucchini, stirring until soft.
  4. Combine pasta with the zucchini mixture and parsley pesto; toss gently. Serve with extra Parmesan, if desired.
We also had a Rocket, Parmesan and Lemon should have been a lime, but i grabbed the wrong thing....it was a little tart, but mixed through the pasta it was divine. Salad with it.
