Pasta courgettes, anchovies and beer
today britboy left me alone and went to play squash with his sporty friend. i get really lazy when i have to cook for myself so i did some homework until late and then rummaged in the kitchen and gather a few ingredients: a half pack of pasta (god knows how long it's been open), a courgette, anchovy fillets in a tin (hidden at the bottom of the cupboard) and a drop of beer (britboy must have forgotten about it, doesn't often happen that a bottle of beer is left unfinished!).
here is a quick and easy recipe for a pasta dish with some random ingredients that work really well together!
Make 4
ingredients
500g wholemeal penne
2 courgettes
5 anchovy fillets in olive oil
1 garlic clove
3 tbsp olive oil
200ml lager beer (i used moretti)

instructions
1. warm up the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. chop garlic and onion and add to the pan, cook at medium heat for a few minutes.
2. dry off the oil from the anchovies, chop them and add to the pan with the sliced courgettes.
3. when the onion is golden add the beer and let it evaporate
4. in the meantime cook the pasta in boiled water with a little salt.
