How To Make pasta with zucchini

    Heat a large frying pan and saute the pancetta until clear.

    Drain and discard the fat and set the meat aside.

  • 5
    Add the well-drained zucchini and saute over high heat until the zucchini is hot but not mushy.

    Cook the pasta (I prefer penne with this dish) and toss the above with the cooked pasta, adding the pancetta, cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

    * Note: American bacon will work instead of pancetta, but the flavor is very different.
