Green Tikka Courgette & Pea Fusili Pasta Salad

Green Tikka Courgette & Pea Fusili Pasta Salad

Ingredients

300g fusilli

2 medium courgettes

3 tbsp Gymkhana Green Tikka Marinade 

200g frozen peas

200g plain unsweetened coconut yoghurt

1 lime, zested and juiced

15g coriander, roughly chopped

15g mint, roughly chopped

50g cashews, toasted and roughly chopped

2 tbsp crispy onions

1 red chilli, finely sliced

Salt and black pepper

Method

Slice your courgettes either into 3-4mm rounds, or lengthwise to create long ribbons. Place in a bowl with 2 tbsp of the green tikka marinade, a drizzle of olive oil and toss well to coat. Leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes if you can. 

Cook the fusilli in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente. Add the peas for the final minute of cooking, then drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large serving bowl.

Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Working in batches, cook the courgette for 1–2 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and tender.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut yoghurt, remaining tablespoon of green tikka sauce, lime zest and juice, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the charred courgette ribbons, coriander and mint to the pasta. Pour over the dressing and gently toss until evenly coated.

Transfer to a serving platter and finish with the toasted cashews, crispy onions and sliced chilli.
