Method

Step 1

In a previously heated pan, add part of the oil and the leek cut into julienne strips.

Step 2

Once wilted, add the courgettes that we have previously washed and cut into small cubes, continue cooking over medium heat and adjust the flavour. The courgettes should be crunchy, at this point remove from the heat.

Step 3

In the pan where we cooked the courgettes previously, add the remaining oil and quickly sauté the cherry tomatoes cut into quarters.

Step 4

Cook the fusilli in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package, drain al dente and season with the previously prepared sauce; the advice is to add the tomato to the courgettes a few moments before the final stir-fry.

Step 5

Finish with the fresh basil leaves torn by hand and before serving the penne, garnish directly on the plate with a few flakes of salted ricotta.
