Prepare & Cook Courgettes
Trim the ends and discard. Cut each courgette into four pieces. Place the courgettes in the boiling water, and cook for 8 minutes or until al dente. Remove courgettes with a slotted spoon and place into a bowl. Keep the water boiling, we're cooking the pasta in the same water.

Create Sauce
While the courgettes are cooking, pick the leaves of the basil and mint. Peel garlic. Add herbs and garlic to a blender (or a high container if using a hand held blender) together with the pine nuts and egg yolk. Add olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the blanched zucchini. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
