Pasta With Zucchini

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Coarsely chopped pancetta - see * note
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive oil
3		Garlic cloves - chopped fine
1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Zucchini - cut julienne and drained well
1/2 cup	118ml	Whipping cream
1/3 cup	48g / 1.7oz	Freshly grated parmesan cheese
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Dry pasta - penne preferred

Recipe Instructions

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

Heat a large frying pan and saute the pancetta until clear. Remove the meat and fat from the pan. Drain and discard the fat and set the meat aside.

Add the olive oil to the pan and saute the garlic for just a moment. Add the well-drained zucchini and saute over high heat until the zucchini is hot but not mushy. Add the cream and stir.

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. This recipe serves 6 as a dinner course or 8 as a pasta course.
