How To Make pasta with zucchini

  • Step 1
    Heat a large frying pan and saute the pancetta until clear.
  • Step 2
    Remove the meat and fat from the pan.
  • Step 3
    Drain and discard the fat and set the meat aside.
  • Step 4
    Add the olive oil to the pan and saute the garlic for just a moment.
  • Step 5
    Add the well-drained zucchini and saute over high heat until the zucchini is hot but not mushy.
  • Step 6
    Add the cream and stir.
  • Step 7
    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.
  • Step 8
    * Note: American bacon will work instead of pancetta, but the flavor is very different.
