Soak the courgette slices in the batter with the onion rings and place them in a pan with plenty of heated oil: as they are deeply fried remove them with a slotted spoon, then drain them on kitchen paper and keep them warm.Cook the pasta al dente and once drained place it on a heated plate, season it with raw olive oil, the grated pecorino, the chopped basil and a grind of pepper. Add the courgette and onion rings, seasoned with salt at the last moment, stir well and serve.
