Ingredients

250 grams penne pasta
2 small size zucchini thinly sliced
5 baby corns thinly sliced
50 grams frozen peas

2 Lemons
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Method


  1. Squeeze lemon juice in a mason jar or a small bowl and add salt and pepper to taste.

  4. While the water boils, heat a grill pan and drizzle some oil.

  7. At the last minute, drop them frozen peas and allow them to soften.
  8. Keep a serving bowl ready.
