Before you start

Pull out a large frying pan, a small baking dish, a medium bowl, a peeler, a grater, a sieve & a measuring jug

Prep & pickle

Peel half the courgette into ribbons, then dice the remaining courgette into 1cm chunks. Halve the tomatoes
Finely grate the cheese. Halve the lemon. Tear the basil. Drain and rinse the beans
In the medium bowl, combine the courgette ribbons with the juice from the lemon, 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle

Combine the flavours

Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the diced courgette and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
Add the garlic paste, chilli flakes (use less for less heat), tomato puree, tomatoes and the half pack of anchovies. Cook for a further minute. Stir in the beans and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person)
Bring to a simmer for 5-6 mins, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir through the yoghurt, half the basil and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Gratin time

Turn the grill to high (240C)
Spoon the anchovy bean mix into the small baking dish. Sprinkle over the almonds and remaining cheese
Grill the gratin for 8-10 mins, until golden and bubbling

Plate up

When everything's ready, toss the rocket and remaining basil through the pickled courgette ribbons
Share the gratin between bowls, with the pickled courgette salad alongside
