How To make Pasta with Zucchini
1/2 cup Coarsely chopped pancetta
see * Note
1/4 cup Olive oil
3 Garlic cloves :
chopped fine
1 1/2 pounds Zucchini cut julienne,
and drained well 1/2 cup Whipping cream
1/3 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt :
to taste Freshly-ground black pepper to taste 1 pound Dry pasta :
penne prefered
* 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 spicy roasted zucchini pasta with Calabrian chili paste, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and fresh herbs in a simple garlicky tomato sauce is so good and so easy! It is very similar to the pasta alla Siciliana that we made a few episodes ago. Watch that one too! I hope you enjoy this spicy roasted zucchini pasta.

How to Make FRIED ZUCCHINI PASTA Like an Italian (Spaghetti alla Nerano)
Fried Zucchini pasta known as “Spaghetti alla Nerano” is a classic example of a local dish. It was born in the small fishing village of Nerano back in 1952 thanks to Maria Grazia and became famous because it was served in her family restaurant (and it still is)! The complete recipe has never been revealed, but this is an authentic local take and sure tastes like a plate of Italy to me combining fresh zucchini and basil along with delicious cheese. The creamy sauce and aroma of basil work so well together and infuse the zucchini with the most delectable flavour…now all we need is a beautiful sea view..!
