Step 1

Cook the pasta, then drain, keeping some of the cooking water.

Step 2

Fry the courgette slices in a little olive oil, turning up the heat so they brown around the edges. Add the garlic and chives and cook for a minute, then add the lemon zest and juice and season well. Stir this into the linguine, then add the mascarpone and a splash of pasta water and toss everything together before serving.
