Courgette and Bacon Pasta

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 3 Courgettes
  • 8 Rashers Bacon (unsmoked and cut into small pieces)
  • 100 ml Lactose-free single cream (creme fraiche could be used instead)
  • 1 tbsp Garlic-infused oil
  • 25 g Parmesan (grated)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 400 g Garofalo Casarecce pasta

Instructions

  • Heat the garlic-infused oil in large pan and fry the bacon pieces.
  • In a separate pan of boiling water, add the Garofalo Casarecce pasta. Leave this to boil for nine minutes.
  • While the bacon cooks, create courgette ribbons using a vegetable peeler (peel vertical strips from the whole courgette to form ribbons).
  • Once the bacon has been frying for five minutes, add the courgette ribbons. This will seem like a lot of courgette but they will shrink during cooking.
  • Once the courgette has softened, remove from heat, stir in the Garofalo Casarecce pasta and add the single cream. Season well with a pinch of salt and generous amounts of black pepper.
  • Stir in half of the parmesan (dependent on your preference), then serve. Top with the remaining parmesan and enjoy.
