125 ball of mozzarella

-
To make the pea pesto, put the peas, nuts and oil in a
mini or jug blender. Blitz until fairly smooth, then
season to taste. Add the cheese and mix well. Scoop the
pesto into a large bowl. Can be made up to 2 days
ahead and kept covered in the fridge.
-
Slice the courgettes into long thin ribbons using a
mandolin or vegetable peeler. Gently toss them through the
pesto until they are evenly coated, then divide between
serving plates.
-
Drain the mozzarella, tear into small pieces and
scatter over the courgettes. Finish with the shaved cheese
and a twist of black pepper, and serve. Best eaten
straight away.
