Instructions

1. 1.Wash and dry the courgette (zucchini). Cut them lengthwise in half, repeat to obtain another half lengthwise. Cut off and discard the seeds and dice the courgette quarters.
2. 2.Quickly roast the dried tomatoes on a high heat to give them a little bit of crunchiness, then cut them into stripes.
3. 3.Bring to boil at least 2L of water and season with salt. Cook the penne in the boiling water, stir them often so they don't stick to one another.
4. 4.Meanwhile, stir fry the courgette and a whole peeled clove of garlic in a wok with 2 tbsp of olive oil. They'll just need 4-5 minutes to get some colour, so make sure not to overcook them.
5. 5.Season the courgette with 2 or 3 little pinches of salt, and discard the garlic. Saving some of the pasta water, drain the pasta 1 minute before the cooking instructions, and toss it into the wok pan together with the courgette.
6. 6.Add half a glass of the pasta water, the ground turmeric and cook for another minute: the pasta will be coated with a thin layer of sauce.
7. 7.Plate it and garnish with a pinch of fresh ground pepper and the dried tomato stripes. So inviting!
