INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Chop the hazelnuts and then toast them at low heat in a non-stick pan for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the courgettes reduced in regular cubes to the hazelnuts, salt (a little) and pepper (a lot). Cover with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes at medium heat, pouring a little water. Then add the minced garlic, all the oil and continue cooking at a gently heat for 5 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, boil the pennette in slightly salted water. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and let it briefly flavor it in the pan with the zucchini.
  4. At the time of serving, sprinkle the pennette with the mint leaves chopped between the fingers: in this way they will release all their fragrance and will not oxidize!
