===Method===<br />
{{RecipeMethod<br />
<br />
| Trim the woody tops off the [[Courgettes|courgettes]]. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the [[Courgette|courgette]] lengthwise into long, thin panels. Cut each panel into thin [[Pasta|pasta]]-like ribbons.<br />
| Toss in a bowl with a pinch of [[Salt|salt]], the [[Zest|zest]] from the [[Lemon|lemon]] and a good squeeze of [[Juice|juice]].<br />
| Place the [[Almonds|almonds]], [[Basil|basil]], [[Chilli|chilli]] and a good pinch of [[Salt|salt]] in a [[Food processor|food processor]] (or you can pound in a [[Pestle and mortar|pestle and mortar]]). Pulse or pound until it starts to come together. Add a good squeeze of [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]] and then trickle in enough [[Oil|oil]] until to bring everything together nicely. Taste. Adjust seasoning or balance of [[Basil|basil]], [[Nuts|nuts]], [[Lemon|lemon]] and [[Oil|oil]].<br />
| Dollop a good spoonful or two of the [[Pesto|pesto]] in with your [[Courgettes|courgettes]]. Gently mix it with your hands, until the [[Courgettes|courgettes]] have a nice [[Pesto|pesto]] coating. Toss the [[Rocket leaves|rocket leaves]] in. Gently mix through. Finish with a drizzle of [[Olive oil|olive oil]], a squeeze of [[Lemon|lemon]], a few fresh [[Basil leaves|basil leaves]] and some chopped [[Almonds|almonds]]. Eat straight away or tote along to a picnic.<br />
