Part of the squash family, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours, ready to be made into a dazzling array of dishes. So, when are courgettes in season in the UK? They’re available all year round but are at their finest from June to October. Courgettes can be cooked in pretty much every way imaginable, whether it’s grilled on the barbie, stirred into a pasta sauce, roasted with fish or even baked into a cake. Serve raw and slice into ribbons or dig out your spiraliser to cut into spaghetti-like strands.
We’ve got a tonne of recipes that really celebrate this terrific summer veggie, so here are our favourites. From quick and easy courgette pasta recipes to salads and tarts, there’s something to fit the bill for any occasion.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
