My mother whisked up this recipe on her last visit to London and it was truly amazing. Again, a good way to get children to eat greens.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 (250 gram) pot of ricotta
• 1 (250 gram) pot of marscarpone
• 50 grams of grated cheddar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil

Method

• Preheat the oven to 200 C.
• Wash, dry and grate the courgettes.

• Place the courgettes in a sieve and squeeze out the excess fluid.
