Method
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and pinch the sausage meat into small nuggets into the pan. Fry for 5-7 mins, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crisp. Add the onion and courgettes; cook for 6-8 mins until tender and golden, scraping any browned bits of sausage from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the garlic and smoked paprika; cook for 1 min. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml cooking water. Add the pasta to the sausage and courgette pan and remove from the heat; toss well. Add a little pasta water to make a sauce that coats the spaghetti, then scatter with lemon zest to serve.
