Method
- Cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mug of cooking water.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix the egg yolks and pecorino in a bowl and whisk in 6 tbsp cold water to combine.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the courgette for 3-4 mins until softened. Stir in the paprika, garlic and thyme, cook for another 2-3 mins, then fold through the roasted tomatoes.
- Stir the pasta into the courgette mix along with half a mug of pasta water. Add the egg mixture, stirring well to combine, then season and stir in the lemon zest and half the parsley. Add a little more pasta water to the sauce and stir well: it should be silky and clinging to the pasta. Divide among bowls and top with extra pecorino, if you like, and parsley to serve.
