This recipe was inspired by a pasta dish I had at Carluccio's an Italian chain restaurant here in the UK. The dish was so simple but tasted so fabulous that I had to attempt to re-create it Love Bites style.
Super quick for a lunch dish or light dinner but a sure winner every time.

INGREDIENTS:
Enough fresh or dried penne pasta for two people (whole wheat is good
1 grated zucchini
1 small fresh chilli deseeded and finely chopped
Zest and juice of one lemon

Fresh spinach leaves
