2 onions, coarsely chopped
1 stick celery, chopped
2 tablespoons oil

Pour boiling water over the ham hock or ham trimmings and place in a pot. Add the onion and celery and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 2 hours for the hock ( less for the trimmings) or until fork tender. Remove ham from liquor and allow to rest for 10 minutes then shred the meat.
Blend the cooking liquor. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the leeks and courgettes for 5 minutes. Add half the stock ( freeze the rest) and bring to a simmer. Cook the pasta, drain and add to the pan with the herbs and ham meat. Check seasoning. Remove the stalks from the basil and set aside. Chop the basil leaves and parsley and add to pan with half the parmesan and mix well. Spoon into bowls and sprinkle over the remaining parmesan.
