Creamy Courgette & Bacon Pasta

Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil
150g diced pancetta or smoked bacon lardons
4 courgettes, coarsely grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
handful freshly grated parmesan
200g crème fraîche
300g tagliatelle

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sizzle the pancetta or bacon for about 5 mins until starting to crisp. Turn up the heat and add the grated courgette to the pan. Cook for 5 mins or until soft and starting to brown then add the garlic and cook for a minute longer. Season and set aside. Cook the tagliatelle according to the pack instructions and scoop out a cupful of cooking water. Drain the tagliatelle and tip into the frying pan with the bacon and courgette. Over a low heat toss everything together with the crème fraiche and half the Parmesan adding a splash of pasta water too if you need to loosen the sauce. Season to taste and serve twirled into bowls with the remaining Parmesan scattered over.

I may be one of your longest members having had a box since 94? 95? With a few little gaps perhaps… So why do I love my box? The veg taste lovely and fresh - my son eats them like sweeties and I cook more interesting recipes.
